The first form of digital [[Optical Disc]], and one of the two most popular and ubiquitous forms (the other being [[DVD]]s). Compact Discs, or CDs as they are generally known, are usually 12 centimetres (approx. 5") across and are shiny on at least one side (the one without a label painted or burned on). They are mostly used for two things: music and computer data. (Yes, all those free coasters from your favorite ISP were compact discs, and the ones on sale for ten bucks at the checkout counter still are.) The two can overlap - [[MP3]] CDs are gaining popularity. They're "compact" because they're smaller than phonograph records.
