CDs were designed to hold 72 minutes of music to accommodate Beethoven's 9th

Snopes says this is "undetermined" (also that CDs hold 74 minutes). Honesty pleasently surprised by how plausible it is from the given evidence though, I was expecting this to turn out to be definitively a myth.

Yeah, just checked and the Wikipedia says it's a myth!
