Do you remember your first Compact Disc?

Herbert von Karajan conductng the Berlin Philharmonic performing Beethoven's 9th - ah the pleasure to be able to here the piece in it's entirety without having to turn the record over - that changed everything.

Still have the disk, and seemed fine when I ripped it into my MP3 archive...

Beethoven's 9th is supposed to be the reason CDs are the playing length that they are. The Japanese are fanatical about the 9th so a CD had to be long enough to accomodate that piece.
