CD Audio

CD Audio refers to the standard format used for music and sound recordings on Compact Discs (CDs). It stores audio data in a digital form using a technology called Pulse Code Modulation (PCM), which captures the sound wave's variations as digital numbers. The CD plays back this data through a laser that reads the disc's tiny grooves, converting the digital information back into sound that we hear. CD Audio offers high-quality sound with a clear, crisp listening experience, typically at a sample rate of 44.1 kHz and 16-bit depth, balancing fidelity and storage efficiency.
