   Hi Dick,   
      
   The program is about 82 minutes (at CD book specs), and after   
   correcting, I needed to burn to 2 CD-Rs as it just did not fit onto one.   
   However, I have recorded many concerts that ran longer than this, with   
   no problems. The only other factor is that this was my first recording   
   with an 8 GB SDHC card. I previously used cards up to 4 GB, but now the   
   8 GB costs less than the 4 GB. In my recordings, I can get 3 hours of   
   music on a 2GB card, so I did not exceed that 2 GB threshold.   
      
   I am hoping that I just had one single bad SD card, but time will tell.   
      
   Thank you for your interesting post.
