However, the technology didn't appear in the marketplace until Philips and
Sony came out with the compact disc (CD) in 1982.
What about those 12 inch video disc's? As far as I can remember, they

Optical disc offers a number of advantages over magnetic storage media. An
optical disc holds much more data.
Then, why is it that a cd can only hold 79:57 of music and an open reel
tape can hold up to 6.5 hours (or more) per-side.
