Question 3.96

66. A recording company wishes to record all the Beethoven string quartets (16 quartets, each consisting of several consecutive parts called movements) on reissued LPs. It wishes to complete the project on as few records as possible. Recording can be done on two sides as long as the movements are consecutive. Is this an example of a bin-packing problem? (Defend your answer.) If the project were to record the quartets on (standard) tape cassettes or compact discs, would your answer be different?
