MP3 CD
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
An MP3 CD is a term used to refer to compact discs (CD-R or CD-RW) that contain MP3 files. MP3 CDs are supported by several modern CD players.
There are also CD players capable of playing wma files, and on Sony branded players, audio encoded to their ATRAC format.
Discs are burned in data mode, as opposed to Red Book format as with standard audio CDs.
Solid-state based digital audio players have become more affordable since MP3 CD players were introduced, and offer several advantages over the format. CD-RW discs only survive 1000 write/delete cycles; flash memory on the other hand is more economical since it can survive more than 1,000,000,000 cycles. [1]
