MidLifeXis,
Ok - I understand now. Not extremely difficult to fix though. Just add another bullet that says if a file won't fit in any allocated bucket then add 1. Update: 2008-11-26 According to bin packing, this heuristic approach can be at worse 11/9 OPT + 1 bin so I was wrong about my guess as to the number of extra CDs needed. I stand by my assertion that such an approach is still preferred over the NP hard problem since CDs cost pennies.

Cheers - L~R
