CDfelvételek

CDfelvételek refers to audio recordings released on Compact Discs (CDs). The Compact Disc is a digital optical disc data storage format that was invented and developed by Philips and Sony to play and store digital audio recordings. It was first introduced in 1982. CDs became the dominant medium for selling recorded music in the 1990s and early 2000s, largely replacing vinyl records and cassette tapes.

CDfelvételek feature digital audio data encoded using the Pulse-code modulation (PCM) system, typically at a sampling rate of 44.1 kHz and a bit depth of 16 bits. This format allows for a wider dynamic range and clearer sound reproduction compared to analog formats. The standard CD audio format can store approximately 74 to 80 minutes of uncompressed audio.

The production of CDfelvételek involves several stages, including mastering, which is the process of preparing the audio for duplication, and pressing, where the digital data is replicated onto polycarbonate discs. These discs are then coated with a reflective layer and a protective lacquer.

While CDs were once the primary physical format for music distribution, their popularity has waned with the rise of digital downloads and streaming services. However, CDfelvételek continue to be produced and sold, particularly by artists seeking a physical product to offer their fans and for audiophiles who prefer the sound quality and tangibility of discs. Many older recordings are also preserved and distributed on CD format.
