Well, neither of them "plays" but I still get the question. The data is actually on a thin metal like surface in the center. A laser beam detects nothing more than pits. Like 100111000111001000 CPU language. Either there is a pit or not. This happens when the light from the laser beam is bounced off the "bottom" of the disc.
