Short for compact disc, an optical disc storage format developed by
Philips and Sony.
The process of making one or more copies of a compact disc.
CD+Graphics. Audio, text and graphics used in the same application. This
type of disc is usually used for Karaoke machines.
Compact Disc-Digital Audio. A CD-DA disc contains tracks with audio
sectors only. In 1982 Philips and Sony introduced the necessary
technology for storing digital audio signals on a compact disc, and
introduced the CD-Digital Audio.
An acronym for compact disc-recordable which is a type of media that
allows you to record information using a CD Recorder.
CD-Recordable technology allows production of CD-ROMs on the
desktop ('one-offs'). It requires a PC, a CD-R recorder or drive,
appropriate software, and 'recordable' media. The reduction of prices for
this hardware and software, and their ease of use, has helped the growth of
CD-ROM production in-house. The 'one-off' is very different from the
mass- reproduced or 'hot-pressed' CDs. It is sold pre-grooved, in 63 or 74
minute capacities, and it involves a layered structure--with a sensitive
chemical recording layer, and almost always with a Startld reflective
layer. Once recorded, the CD-R disc (one-off)performs in the same way as
the mass-reproduced CDs.
Compact Disc-Read Only Memory. A standard for compact disc to be
used as a digital memory medium for personal computers. The
specifications for CD-ROM were first defined in the Yellow Book.
A CD-ROM disc contains only data sectors as defined in the Yellow
Book.
A peripheral device attached to a computer which allows it to read/play a
CD-ROM disc. All CD-ROM players can also play back audio CDs, but
you need external headphones or speakers to hear them.
