A compact disc (CD) is an optical disc containing digital audio in a given format, introduced in 1982 to an astonished public. Clear, crisp, crackle free audio was now available in a relatively small footprint, even though initial prices were considerably higher than today for the early adaptor.
The term compact disc has become commonplace and can be often improperly used to describe all digital media discs, such as CD-I, CD-ROM, DVD and many computer format compact discs although a music comp
act disc has to comply to a specific format in order to use the compact disc trademark logo and ensure total compatibility.
Many items contained within Musiclibrary.fi's holdings are on audio compact disc and in due course access will be given to the specific media catalogue.
