What's a spanner?

How do you pronounce it? Is the 'a' like the 'a'
in 'bridge span', 'hand span' and 'spammer'?

Or is it like the 'a' in 'spanner' (=wrench)?

In "English" those two "a"s are the same...

So it's meant to be as in "span" - to span multiple disks. But the logo is a DVD with a wrench (spanner) across it. I have no idea where you're from or how you might pronounce those two words differently. :-)

Men of Work should have included it in their Down Under lyrics.

Where the 'can' in 'tin can' is longer than the 'can' in 'can do.'
