Anything that plays for 3 days ISN'T an audio *CD* ! An audio CD is
limited to ~ 50 mins.

To paraphrase Judge Judy: Your looks, voice and mental ability will fade
eventually, but *dumb* is for life...

A CD-ROM containing mp3 (or similar) files is not an audio CD and may not be
marketed as one.

Philips owns the rights to the *CD* trademark and requires Red Book compliance
before it can be used. That means (among other things) that a real *CD* may
only contain uncompressed audio. Philips has 'had words' with the likes of Sony
when they started marketing 'computer discs' as CDs. Basically they said "oh no
you don't".
