Talk:Mini CD single

Commentary moved here from the article
It should be noted when reading this article that there is no such thing as a standard 3-inch or 5-inch CD. The standard sizes are 80mm (8cm) and 120mm (12cm). A 5in (127mm) CD would not fit in many current drives. Compatible CD players were marked as 8cm Mini CD capable but in the US/UK record labels confusingly chose to promote these Mini CDs as 3-inch CDs.

Clarification
"UK 3" CDs were made mostly in a small square form only" - what exactly does that mean? a square disc - or a square case?

"some including a 5" CD adapter to use in normal players." That is essentially true, my brother has two of them. A plastic ring of the same thickness as a CD (1.2mm), and outside diameter 120mm, inside diameter 80mm. There are sort-of lugs to hold an 80mm CD in place. --Redrose64 (talk) 20:21, 11 August 2009 (UTC)
