Abstract
A CD player, including a CD drive, which receives a CD and reads compressed digital audio data recorded thereon, and an integrated circuit chip, which decompresses the compressed data and produces a non-compressed audio output. Preferably, the data are compressed by MPEG compression, most preferably by MPEG Layer-3 compression, so that the data are compressed approximately 12-fold, and the CD contains over 800 minutes of high-quality stereo sound recording.

10. A CD recording system, comprising:
-
a read drive, which receives and reads a first CD having audio data recorded thereon;
compression circuitry, which receives and compresses the audio data from the read drive by MPEG Layer-3 compression in real time; and
a write drive, which receives the audio data compressed by MPEG Layer-3 compression and records the audio data compressed by MPEG Layer-3 compression on a second, recordable CD. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14)
