Father of the CD:

I can remember vinyl & some people still say it sounds better, but where would recorded music be today without the CD?

The flamboyant music connoisseur insisted the CD be designed at 12 centimeters (4.8 inches) in diameter to hold 75 minutes worth of music — in order to store Beethoven's Ninth Symphony in its entirety.

Yep - that's how they decided on the length. Although these days you can squeeze 80mins on a CD.
