I am looking for information about how CDs are made by the
manufacturer. What materials are they made of? What does a
cross-section look like? etc. Also I want to learn more about how CDs
are read by either a CD drive or a CD player. I know the CDs revolve
and are read from the inside to the outside, but want more detail.
Does anyone know of any web sites or books that would have this
information?
