Music Formats Part 4

Compact Disk - 1982



The compact disc, or CD for short, is an optical disk used to store digital data. The format was originally developed to store and play back sound recordings only, but was later adapted for storage of data. Several other formats were further derived from these, including write-once audio and data storage, rewritable media and enhanced music CDs. Audio CDs and audio CD players have been commercially available since October 1982.
