AFAIK, stereo or mono data as laid down as one continuous track, ie there
is no left/right separate tracks - it's all one data stream.
Depending how you look at it, in mono mode it is recording at half speed,
that is, on a blank disc the mono data can be written in one contiguous
track for 150 mins.
This would explain the 'fast play' or 'double speed playback' facility of
some portables when playing back a mono source...
