In the past one could buy records, music cassettes and ta- pes with a recorded analog signal. While records were usu- ally damaged from dust and frequent use, tapes demagne- tized themselves leading to a dull and muffled sound. Later on, the Compact Disc (CD) was developed for storing music in digital form. An analog signal is measured at specific intervals, transferred in numerical value and stored in a spe- cific form on the CD. A CD player (or amplifier) evaluates the computed value once again into an analog signal. An audio CD can hold approximately 70 – 80 minutes of music. Its for- mat is similar to that of a normal computer CD-ROM, which has an equivalent data volume of approx. 650 – 700 MB. The early stages of computer technology development, where 1 MB user memory, 100 MB hard drives and a 28 kBit modem, a standard thing were, usually also brought a lot of problems along with it.
