Audio CD

See CD-DA

Bridge Disk

CDs which can be read by CD-ROM/XA drives and CD-I players, for example a Kodak Photo CD.

Blue Book

Specification for CD-Extra (formerly CD-Plus)

Buffer underrun

When the write memory of the drive is empty, the writing procedure will be terminated The flow of data from the system to the drive was insufficient. Either the transfer rate is too low for the writing speed or there was an interruption in the data flow.

CD-DA

CD-DA stands for "CD Digital Audio" and is the known audio CD standard described in the Red Book. It contains audio data – that is to say music – and can be played back in CD-ROM drives which support audio CDs as well as in normal CD players in stereo systems.

The audio data is stored as so-called "frames" with a length of 1/75 of a second. 44,100 audio signal samples are stored per second. Each sample uses two bytes (16 bit), and two channels are stored (left and right). This results in a sector size of 44,1000 x 2x 2 /75 = 2352 bytes per frame which corresponds to the size of a physical block on a CD.

CD-I

CD-Interactive, special CD format defined in the Green Book The CD-I track is not entered into the TOC (CD directory). Thus, the audio tracks can be listened to on a normal CD player. To access a CD-I track, an appropriate drive is required. Some older CD players incorrectly recognize the CD-I track as an audio track and attempt to play it back accordingly.

CD-R

CompactDisc-Recordable, designation for recordable CDs

CD-ROM (Single and Multisesssion)

CD-ROM describes a CD which contains computer data much like a hard disk.

CD-XA

XA stands for "Extended Architecture" and is a standard for Multimedia CDs containing audio and computer data.
