How long is a CD track?

To comply with Red Book standards (basic standard which must be obeyed by any CD audio player), the CD track must be no shorter than 4 seconds. Maximum total play length is 78 minutes or limited by media size, whichever is less. Since minimum track number on CD is 1, it yields max single track length to be 78 min, however, some CD burning software may allow to record longer tracks, which are limited only by media size (e.g. 80 min or longer). Although these CDs are not strictly standard compliant, they can still be successfully played on most current CD players.
