What in the hell? Did this blank CD get hit by the shrinky machine?

At a petite 3¼ inches in diameter, these CDs are not your average CD rom. They are tiny, delicate versions of a regular CD that hold about 180 megs.

 

 

Compare the tiny 3¼" CD with a regular 4¾" CD. Which one is cuter? I think it is obvious.

These small CDs will play in DVD players too. I have the world's cheapest DVD player (yamakawa brand) and it plays them flawlessly in a special indentation in the disk drawer.

I drop one in and listen to hours of MP3 music.

They can also hold oodles of vacation images, and the tiny size is a good way to trick relatives into actually viewing them.

The CDs should hold 180 Megabytes of data, but I've only tested them up to 157 megs.

Here is a screenshot of the 42 songs I put on one.

If each song is 4 minutes long, that is 2.8 hours of music on one adorable disk.

I think these are fantastic for use when giving music to someone else, especially if they have a DVD player that can handle MP3s.

They aren't as large as a regular CD, so they are perfect for sending in the mail because they actually fit in a regular envelope. That's how I will ship them, creatively protected with paper.

Shipping these little miracles with only a 37¢ stamp is pure joy.

The only downside with these miniature rascals is that they don't like the trayless slot players you find on iMacs and in Car CD players.

Don't use them in those.

This auction is for ONE small, blank, recordable 3¼" CD rom. You should probably have a CD burner if you are considering buying one of these.

Shipping is extra: 37¢ in the USA, 70¢ to Canada.

Thank you. Satisfaction is guaranteed.
