Mini CD Format

Physically the mini-cd should work in 95% of all computers, PC or MAC.  The only thing to consider is if you have a front insert style cd drive(without a tray), it may not load correctly.  The reason we use a mini style cd is that it reduces shipping costs.  If you prefer a larger cd you can request one by contacting us.
