Song Time Display: feet and inches?
 

I'm not sure if this has ever been discussed before ( probably has, but I didn't find it in a quick search)...

I find it really funny how the time for a song on a CD is displayed as "feet" and "inches" e.g. 2' 35"

I've never seen this type of readout before, but it is pretty amusing! :)

That's also common nomenclature for minutes and seconds. Its all about the context!

ahhh.. interesting. I didn't know that. I've never seen that on an audio display before

Well, there is a band out there that is called "3 inches of blood", so it is not that uncommon to have such nomenclature in music :)
And yes, as bureau13 pointed out, this is a very common way of indicating time - maybe not in the US but otherwise all over the world. :D
To be honest, not being from the US, it never occurred to me to think of the time display referring to feet and inches.

Typical American..it's all about me :D

Now let's not even get on our (USA) laziness to adopt the metric system across the board ;)

yeah, you'll usually find that form of minutes and seconds used in describing lat/long, eg:

032 04' 38" N

32 degrees, 4 minutes, 38 seconds
