25 years ago, Philips created the world's first compact disk in their Hanover, Germany production line. While CD production started in August 1982, it wasn't commercially available until November 1982, and even then only in Japan. Once compact disks became available to America in March 1983, the industry embraced them whole-heartedly. Why bother with flipping over a tape every 20 or so minutes when you can listen to 80 minutes of music on one side of one disk? As of late, the CD is still one of the most popular forms of storing music, and is used from everything from data storage to software installation disks.
