650mb CD is an older 74 minute audio CD which aren't really used anymore.  Infact I buy quite a lot of CDs and I haven't seen one in possibly 4 years.

703mb CD is 80 minutes that were designed and produced after the 74 minute ones had been around for a while.

Of course, doing so violates the Orange Book specification, the standard that defines rewritable CDs, first announced in 1990.

Yes, but the Compact Disc standard is already being ignored in the DualDiscs that are coming out now so going against already defined standards are nothing new.

Still, interesting reading Effy.
