CD
A "small" injection-molded optical disc containing digitized information that has been recorded with a laser device and must be read on a laser device. The term "small" generally refers to a disc that is 8 cm or 12 cm (4.72 inches) in diameter as opposed to videodiscs that typically are much larger in diameter. Also, videodiscs usually are restricted to analog inputs from videotape whereas CDs rely on inputs from computer tape or other digitized platforms. Although there are several types of CDs for audio, television, and computer playback, the CD-Audio and CD-ROM discs have overwhelming shares of the market. For example, Kim (1994) discusses why CD-ROM discs are replacing floppy discs in a "ground swell." CD-ROM discs now hold approximately 680 Mb (i.e., 680 million characters) although compression techniques make it possible to record CDs from even larger computer files. Usually CDs have slower access speeds than magnetic hard drives, but speeds are improving and playback of video is now possible on both CD-ROM and CD-I players. Although the best known CDs once were those that contain only audio recordings, there is a rapidly growing market for various types of CDs that contain computer files and/or files that can be read on special devices connected to television sets.

oriental channel diagnosis (CD)
Manual "technique" of Oriental medicine that centers on the alleged reactivity of acupoints termed "diagnostic." According to CD theory, one may infer from "abnormal sensitivity" at such an acupoint that the supposed channel governing the acupoint is "unbalanced" and that there is pathology along the channel. (See "diagnostic acupressure" and "kyo-jitsu..")

cd
.cd is the Internet country code top-level domain (ccTLD) for the Democratic Republic of the Congo. It was created in 1997 as a replacement for the .zr (Zaire) ccTLD, which was phased out and eventually deleted in 2001.
Except for reserved names like .com.cd, .net.cd, .org.cd and others, any person in the world can register a .cd domain for a fee, much of the income from which goes to the government and people of the country. The ccTLD is popular (and thus economically valuable) due to it being an abbreviation for compact disc (other similar ccTLDs are .fm, .am, .tv, .ws and .dj).

Compact Disc
A Compact Disc or CD is an optical disc used to store digital data, originally developed for storing digital audio. The CD, available on the market since late 1982, remains the standard playback medium for commercial audio recordings to the present day, although it has lost ground in recent years to MP3 players, which have greater storage capability, albeit with noticeably lower sound quality in most cases.
