The compact disc or CD was introduced in the year 1982. It was originally developed for storing digital audio and digital data.
It all started in the year 1979, when Philips and Sony got together to design a new digital audio disc. The team leaders of this project were Kees Immink and Toshitada Doi. Philps handled the maunfacturing process along with the Eight-to-Fourteen Modulation (EFM), while Sony too care of the error connection method, better known as CIRC. However, Philips claim that this invention was not a one man's job but a collective contribution by members of both the companies who worked together as a team.
It was considered as a "Big Bang", in the digital audio world. This disc was taken over by nearly all markets across the globe, especially the Europe and the United States consumer market. The first successful CD to be launched was Brothers in Arms in 1985.A compact disk (CD) is a popular form of digital storage media used for computer files, pictures, and music. The plastic platter is read and written to by a laser in a CD drive. It comes in several varieties including CD-ROM, CD-R, and CD-RW.
James Russell invented the compact disk in 1965. James Russell was granted a total of 22 patents for various elements of his compact disk system. However, the compact disk did not become popular until it was mass manufactured by Philips in 1980.
The first working prototype was produced in 1979, and CD players were released in 1982
Sony introduced the world's first CD player, the CDP-101 on October 1st, 1982. It hit the market with a retail price of about $900 and featured the now familiar slide out tray loading mechanism for the first time.
Variations of the optical disk and compact disc started to appear in the late 1970s. The ones we are used to were launched in 1982.http://wiki.answers.com/When_was_the_CD_and_CD_player_invented&action=edit

CD with only one song and it tells be to insert a blank CD How do you put more songs on the same CD?
If the CD is a CD-R it is only "Writable," and cannot have songs added to it after its initial burn. If the CD is a CD-RW you should be able to "Rewrite" songs onto the CD and reburn them.
Which storage media uses laser technology to store data?
optical disls
Can you edit a CD?
only if it is a CD-RW
Would a computer with a drive for CD-rw use a CD-r?
Yes. CD-RW drives are capable of writing to CD-R discs as well.
How do you erace CD?
It depends on the CD's format, how it was burned, and whether the session is still open or not. If it is a CD-RW(Read/Write) you can erase these and re-write data on them. If you are trying to erase a store bought CD or a CD-R or CD+R you are out of luck, once these are burned they are done.
