The data written onto compact discs is in a digital format. It
may not have originally been written in a digital format, but will
be converted to digital in order to write it to a compact disc.
Some music/audio compact discs show whether the data was digital
or analogue at each stage of: * original recording
* mixing * recording to CD by showing a three letter code where
A indicates analogue and D digital.
ADD would indicate an original analogue recording with a digital
mixing and then the digital compact disc recording.
