"When I buy CDs I go by capacity - 650 or 700MB.  However, I've noticed that many also list minutes on the pack.  What's that all about?"

Take a look at the case/cover/pack of a recordable CD and along with a capacity measured in megabytes you might also see minutes also being mentioned - 650MB CDs labeled as 74 minute CDs and 700MB CDs listed as 80 minutes.  This is a measure of how many minutes of music the CD would hold if it was burned as a standard audio CD rather than a data CD.
