CDs, or compact discs, first appeared on the market in 1982. They were developed by Philips and Sony as a medium for digitally storing music, replacing analog formats like vinyl records and cassettes. The advantage of CDs was their higher sound quality, greater durability, and easier searching for specific tracks.

In the 1990s, CDs became the dominant format for selling music. They offered a capacity of up to 74 minutes of music, and their digital format made it easy to rip and copy music. Additionally, CD players became a common part of households and cars, contributing to their mass popularity.

With the advent of the 21st century and the rise of digital formats like MP3, and later streaming services, the popularity of CDs began to decline. Thanks to the internet and technology, people increasingly shifted to digital downloading and streaming music, which offer instant access to a vast library of tracks without the need for physical media.

Despite this, music CDs are still used and have their place on the market. Some music enthusiasts prefer CDs for their sound quality, which is often higher than that of compressed digital files. CDs are also popular among collectors who appreciate the physical format with its cover, booklet, and artwork, providing a tangible experience that digital music does not offer.

Another reason for the continued use of CDs is their reliability and compatibility. Many older cars and home audio equipment are still equipped with CD players, and for some users, they remain a convenient choice.
