CD player information

Although choices among CD players have dwindled, there are still lots of things to consider. "CD, CD-R, and SACD: Frequently Asked Questions" at Crutchfield.com sorts some of that out and offers good, unbiased advice.

"How CDs Work" at HowStuffWorks.com is a brief primer on the technology behind CD discs and players.
