Yes, the data is stored in one long, continuous, tightly-wound spiral as opposed to many concentric circles.
CD data is stored as a series of tiny indentations known as "pits", encoded in a spiral track moulded into the top of the polycarbonate layer.

On a CD is data written in concentric circles or a continuous spiral track?
Based on my knowledge and some research, I say spiral track. I say that since a CD drive uses a laser to read data (that's what I thought and people told me), if it went in concentric circles, then the laser would have to quickly turn off then turn on as it skipped to the next circle. To keep the data flowing to the processor (or wherever it goes, I'm just using logic), it would have to write data on a CD in a spiral track as the laser moved inward to read the data. To me, that's the most logical answer.
A Computer hard drive consists of a single spiral track to which data is recorded True or False?
May be True or False.
How do Cd's Produce sound?
When a CD is burned, the laser burns a single track of data, starting from the center and moving outward in a spiral. When it is read, another laser picks up this data and the hardware then translates this data into sound.

Is CD sequential or random device?
Yes CD is a sequential strage device. bcoz data store in CD in the form of sequence means we can store data in CD one by on track. we cant jump on different no. of tracks to store data. if we store data in track 1 then another data can store in track 2 not directly 3 or 5.
