I thought the standard had been extended to 80 minutes?  When CD burners and CD-R discs first came out, I remember them first being 650MB or 74 minutes, and then they went to 700MB or 80 minutes.

I think it has been fairly rare to see a music CD that is filled to capacity.  And the same issue has happened with cassette tapes and vinyl records too.  There were some songs that were even shortened to fit onto the vinyl record version.  One example is Dire Straits' "Brothers In Arms" album - I heard that album was recorded digitally (intended to sound its best on a CD), but they also released the album on vinyl, and they had to shorten their song "Money For Nothing" for the vinyl release in order for everything to fit.
