| One thing to make clear again: You can _not_ use the size of physical
| media to determine relative compression.
Which is why I specified media *DENSITY*. CD and LD have the same media
density, so for the same quantity of media they have identical storage
capacity.

Redbook, which puts 74 minutes of 16-bit linear PCM stereo on a CD.
The Mercury Theater Company archive, which is a 6-hour audio-only CLV
Laserdisc. It is ~3 hours per side, two analog tracks, two CX tracks (left
and right channels). This is the only audio-only Laserdisc I am aware of.
The rest is just basic math.
