Ok, this might be a really stupid question...but:
I have a bunch of CD remasterings of old recordings from the pre-stereo era. These are in mono sound. Since mono only has one channel, shouldn't there be half as much data in mono as in stereo?
If so, why aren't mono CD releases twice as long? I would expect them to be able to fit 150-160 minutes in the same number of megabytes as it takes to fit 75-80 minutes of stereo.
