A standard Compact Disc ( CD ) holds an entire album of digital songs, and can
be played on a CD player or your notebook’s CD drive.
A Digital Versatile Disc (DVD) is similar to a standard CD but has greater data
capacity. Because of this increased capacity, full-length movies or several
albums of music can fit on a single disc. DVDs can be played on a DVD player
or a DVD drive-equipped notebook.
