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.
