I don't really understand why that format exists in the first place. As obsolete as they are, CDs can still hold a lot more than an hour or so of audio. A typical CD is, what, around 700mb, right? That's more than enough to fit the average "boxset" trio of stories, uncompressed. All of "Solo" could fit in a single disc. Audio CDs can only hold 80 minutes of audio, that's the problem. Putting 3 episodes on a single disc is the MOST that BF can do, sadly. Data CDs use 700 mb. Just checked and audio CD's are also easier to play and more accessible, since data CDs require the person playing it to have a program capable of reading a CD-ROM, which probably isn't too rare nowadays, but it does make sense why you'd use audio CD's instead. Basically: no, they can't put Solo on a single disc unless they make a CD-ROM option, which might be a nice idea for those of us who can play CD-ROMs, but that could definitely cause problems and would likely make those who can't play CD-ROMs pay more than those who can. *based off of a bare-minimum research Google search, take with a grain of salt Yep, the issue is that BF sells CDs to the people who can play them in, for example, CD players in cars, or dedicated CD players, rather than just putting the CD in a computer and accessing the files (at which point the customer would surely just buy the download version).

I’ve listened to Blood if rhe Time Lords. Well, that was lovely. Tom was delightfully Tom. Witty, creative, emotional, snappy and snippy. Everything you could ask for in the Doctor. Whatshisface spent most of the story sounding like Beevers, which was an odd but entertaining choice somewhere along the line (seriously, I fully expected there to be two Masters, one the young guy and the other Zombeevers). A plot with lots of shenanigans and so e lovely period appropriate music.
