A standard Compact Disc (
CD
) holds an entire album of digital songs, and can
be played on a CD player or your computer’s CD drive.
A Digital Versatile Disc (

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
