If you notice the edges are rounded.
Now open your cd tray and observe, right in the center there is a shallow depression. These "cds" are placed in the depression and function like normal cds. The rounded edges help keep them from flying.
They store about 250MB data.
They cant be used on "slot in" drives though.

If you are curious indiatimes/times music has small games like "pool" distributed on such cds. Visit PLanetM.

Such cds also come free with books from "MARSHALL PUBLISHING"

They are similar to mini cd's.

Ya surely you can cut cd and make custom CDs..
But be cautious while cutting and be sure that after cutting there are no prutuding edges that can harm ur LENS... also the media inside the periphery of ur custom CD should not be hampered during the cutting process...

And about how much data will ur resulting CD have depends on the maximum radius of circle that can be drawn completly inside ur custom cd.... ;)
