CD = compact disk. As opposed to large floppy disks. A disk because it's round. Compact because it'll hold so much more data than a floppy.
Their most recent CD was not really a new recording but more of a retrospective of their earlier works.
a CD player
Definition: a definite article, which hints precisely a certain object, a specific thing or even a determined person. It´s used for meaning that we are not speaking of ANY, but of SOME UNIQUE being - even if it´s also used for plural (not ANY, but SOME people/things/objects). Examples (notice the difference of meaning): 1. Give me a CD please ( = any = no matter which or which type of CD); 2. Give me the CD please ( = that/this CD, not any other, only THAT/THIS one).
The acronym 'CD', often refers to 'compact disk'.
No, only CD-RWs are rewritable.
Any discs that have "RW" on them. An example "CDRW" - Compact Disc, ReWritable
A CD-Recordable disc, often called CD-R, is a CD that can be recorded onto, often referred to as burning a disc, once whereas a CD-Rewritable disc, often called CD-RW, can be recorded onto many times by erasing previous material from the disc. Some CD players have problems playing CD-RWs while CD-Rs are less problematical.
Once CD's have data put on them, it cannot be erased. On rewritable CD's, the reflective layer on the bottom of the disc is a different compound that, when hit by the CD drive's laser at increased power, will melt, erasing data so something else can be written in its place.
A CD-RW drive is able to Read CDs, VCDs, and write CD-R and CD-RW.
Usually that information is on the face of the CD itself along with the brand name. It will have CD-RW or CD+RW. The plus or minus signs indicate what type of re-writable the CD is. If the face of the CD is blank, look at the clear area around the center hole. The information should be stamped there.

CD-R is a Write Once Read Many (WORM) optical medium, although the whole disk does not have to be entirely written in the same session.A CD-RW(Compact Disc-ReWritable) is a rewritable optical disc. It was introduced in 1997, and was known as "CD-Writable" during development.
