Compact disc (CD) is a digital optical disc data storage format released in 1982 and co-developed by Philips and Sony.

The format was originally developed to store and play only sound recordings but was later adapted for storage of data (CD-ROM).

Several other formats were further derived from these, including write-once audio and data storage (CD-R), rewritable media (CD-RW), Video Compact Disc (VCD), Super Video Compact Disc (SVCD), Photo CD, PictureCD, CD-i, and Enhanced Music CD.

The first commercially available Audio CD player, the Sony CDP-101, was released October 1982 in Japan.

The LP (from "long playing" or "long play") is an analog sound storage medium, a vinyl record format characterized by a speed of rpm, a 12 or 10 inch (30 or 25 cm) diameter, and use of the "microgroove" groove specification.

Introduced by Columbia in 1948, it was soon adopted as a new standard by the entire record industry.

Apart from a few relatively minor refinements and the important later addition of stereophonic sound, it has remained the standard format for vinyl albums.
