  CD-ROM - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Some CDs hold both computer data and audio with the latter capable of being played on a CD player, whilst data (such as software or digital video) is only usable on a computer.
CD capacities are always given in binary units, although decimal SI prefixes are usually used: A "700 MB" CD has a nominal capacity of about 700 MiB.
Manufacturers of CD writers (CD-R or CD-RW) are encouraged by the music industry to ensure that every drive they produce has a unique identifier, which will be encoded by the drive on every disc that it records: the RID or Recorder Identification Code.
