My Cd Collection
Full Length CD Albums and Maxi Singles
The compact disc (CD) emerged from a Philips-Sony collaboration in the late 1970s, offering a durable, high-quality digital audio format to replace vinyl and cassettes, launching commercially in Japan in 1982 and North America/Europe in 1983 with Billy Joel's 52nd Street as an early title. CDs dominated the music market through the 90s, peaking around 2000 before declining due to MP3s, file-sharing, and streaming, though they retain a niche among audiophiles.
