whats the deal with CD5"s

are they vinyls or CD's

Cds..hence the letters.

cd 5" = cd singles, 5" being the size, there are 3" ones which fit 21mins (and who is more popular in asia)

so....


maybe I dont have to download all those tunes after all...

I can buy them

do they rip as well as a normal CD?

Um, they are regular CDs.

i thought they were smaller

Measure a cd for gods sake. Its five inches. Thus CD5"

Measure a record (33) its 12" thus EP/LP/SP 12"

Even though everything should be in metric...

alright alright settle down.

just one more question...


why does discogs insist on saying CD5" instead of just CD

they use the term CD5" for cd SINGLES. just CD denotes that it is a full release, an entire album. on a CD5" you will probably find 1-5 remixes of the same track, while on a CD you will find 10+ different songs.

razzi.

Because CD usually refers to an album. CD5" usually refers to a single. Kind of like how an album on vinyl is LP and a single on vinyl is a 12".

no worries thanks for that
