[78-L] Snopes debunks another "rumor"

"As well, such a scheme would present some difficult aesthetic issues, chiefly that any piece of music or other type of recorded material longer in duration than a few minutes would have to be split across multiple discs (and sides of discs)."

>From my perspective, this is a feature, not a bug -- songs should be three minutes tops, maybe four if you're fancy and want a 12" disc.
