MAM-A is releasing 80-minute gold archival CD-Rs and, unfortunately, 
the Canadian stocking distributor is no longer carrying the 74-minute 
ones. It still doesn't solve the problem of the C90 transfer which 
ends up on two CD-Rs in a single jewel case.

I had used enough of the 80-minute ones without incident for specific 
projects that I've rolled over and played dead instead of fighting 
this one with the distributor. It appears that all the people who are 
using the archival CD-R that at least these folks are supplying, are 
migrating to the 80-minute ones.

I'm actually moving away from CD-R and going to DVD-R with files or uploads.

Cheers,

Richard
