How do you classify CD's?

CDs, or compact discs, can be classified based on several criteria, including their format (e.g., audio CDs, CD-ROMs, CD-Rs, and CD-RWs), capacity, and intended use. Audio CDs are designed for music playback, while CD-ROMs are used for data storage and software distribution. Additionally, writable CDs (CD-Rs) allow users to record data, while rewritable CDs (CD-RWs) can be erased and reused. Each type serves different functions in media and data management.
