Music CDs Compact Discs (CDs) were first introduced to the music market in 1982, co-developed by Philips and Sony. Due to their affordability and availability, the technology grew fast. By the 1990s recordable CDs were widely available and by 2000 most vehicles were manufactured with CD players instead of audio tape players as it had become the leading format for recorded music. The technology was also developed further and led to the development of CD-ROMs, DVDs and Blue-Ray, which share the same physical attributes as the music CD. Sizes Music CDs are available in two sizes - the standard CD measures 120mm in diameter, can hold up to 700MiB of data and provides up to 80 minutes of recorded music. Mini CDs measure 80mm in diameter can store up to 210MiB of data, equating to around 24 minutes of music. How CDs Work A CD has a single spiral track of data that circles from the inside of the disc to the outside.
This track is tiny; a micron is one millionth of a meter and the track is 0.5 microns wide. The results is a series of bumps, or pits, on the readable surface of the CD, too small to be visible to the naked eye.
The CD player reads the data that is stored in these bumps, using a laser and lens system and a tracking mechanism that follows the spiral track. The data is extracted by the laser and translated into the recorded music that we hear. A complex process but thankfully not one we need to fully understand in order to enjoy our music CDs. Collectible As in all things, some CDs are limited edition and harder to come by than others. These have significant collectible value.
Examples include Coldplay's 'The Safety EP' with less than 500 produced and only approximately 100 making it to retail and Nirvana's UK only promotional version of 'Pennyroyal tea' in 1994, that was withdrawn before distribution. Rare CDs can fetch upwards of $1500.

EDITORS’ NOTES Making the shift from teen sensation to mature artist can be tough, but on her second album, Fearless, an 18-year-old Taylor Swift did it with style. The songs ring out with angst and delight in equal measure. Guitars chime and beats bounce as Swift sails through the title track, “Hey Stephen”, and “You Belong With Me” with boundless joy. These moments glow all the more alongside thoughtful tunes like “Fifteen” (a knowing glance back at high school) and “White Horse” (a snapshot of lost innocence).

Background Prior to stardom, Swift received a with /. Over the course of that period, Swift composed over 250 songs, either alone or collaborating with other songwriters, mostly with or, and refused to give them away to already established acts with intentions of someday singing them herself. When later signed to, Swift compiled her Taylor Swift album of material written during her publishing contract, and expected to do the same for her second album.
She said, 'I've been very selfish about my songs. I had this dream of this project Taylor Swift coming out for so many years now that I just stockpiled. I'm so happy that I did because now we have a second album full of songs and a third album full of songs, and I don't have to lift a finger.' However, when embarking on her first and second tour as for and, respectively, Swift continued to compose numerous songs.
'I've written a lot of songs by myself lately, especially since I've been alone so much on the road,' she said. 'I do love writing on the road – I usually write at the concert venue.
I'll find a quiet place in some room at the venue, like the locker room.' As a result of writing subsequent to touring, Swift self-penned most of the material. 'I've written like eight songs for the second album by myself. If you're in, who's there to write with?'
During vacation days from touring, Swift collaborated with Rose, musician, and singer-songwriter. In the writing process, she was heavily influenced by 's candidness and truthful, yet vulnerable storytelling, and 's touching, yet humorous nature; she opened for Paisley. She sought to prolong with centering romantic love the theme of the album. Primarily, she did not want to alienate her fans with songs about life on the road, for she could never relate to songs of the sort when younger. She continued, 'I really try to write more about what I feel and guys and love because that's what fascinates me more than anything else – love and what it does to us and how we treat people and how they treat us. So pretty much every song on the album has a face that I associate with it.' Despite her revelation of not having kissed a male in two years, Swift said the album was not wrung dry of such inspiration because she still underwent breakups and felt its core emotions.
Adding it did not 'take much for her to get that sort of emotion out in a song', she explained did not have to resort to kissing to feel disappointment, frustration, or heartbreak. Although she had written numerous new songs, Swift decided to also include previously written tracks, believing there were stories she did not have the opportunity to put out with Taylor Swift, and still desired to. Having grouped over 75 songs, recording with, who produced all but one song on Taylor Swift, commenced soon after having completed touring with Strait; in the process, Swift made her debut. Thereon, she and Chapman recorded and cut an abundance of songs to keep the best material on the album. Thirteen tracks were planned due to Swift's fondness for the number; she considers it to be her.

The remainder of the songs resulted from the last two recording sessions: one held in March 2008, the other held sometime in the summer of 2008. When asked to describe the album, Swift commented, 'It's the same kind of album I made (in 2006) – just two years older. Sound-wise, it's the kind of songs I like to write, which are songs, but I guess because of the subject matter and because of some of the melodies I love to use, I guess they have.'

Its conception was triggered by a of Swift's who she perceived to be, but, in the downfall of the relationship, realized was not. Swift became inspired to compose ' after she overheard a male friend of hers speaking to his girlfriend through a phone call.

She then started contemplating the word to title the album, and to assure she was making the correct decision, applied to every song on the album.

Taylor Swift Fearless Album Download
It's not being completely unafraid. To me, Fearless is having fears, Fearless is having doubts.
Lots of them. To me, Fearless is living in spite of those things that scare you to death.
Fearless is falling madly in love again, even though you've been hurt before. Fearless is walking into your freshman year of high school at fifteen. Fearless is getting back up and fighting for what you want over and over again. Even though every time you've tried before, you've lost.
It's Fearless to have faith that someday things will change. Fearless is having the courage to say goodbye to someone who only hurts you, even though you can't breathe without them.
I think it's Fearless to fall for your best friend, even though he's in love with someone else. And when someone apologizes to you enough times for things they'll never stop doing, I think it's Fearless to stop believing them. It's Fearless to say 'you're NOT sorry'. I think loving someone despite what people think is Fearless. I think allowing yourself to cry on the bathroom floor is Fearless. Letting go is Fearless.
Then, moving on and being alright. That's Fearless too. But no matter what love throws at you, you have to believe in it. You have to believe in love stories and prince charmings and happily ever after. That's why I write these songs.
Because I think love is Fearless. As with her debut album, Taylor Swift, Swift was very involved with the album packaging.

I HOPE YOU KNOW THAT YOU’VE GIVEN ME THE COURAGE TO CHANGE. I HOPE YOU KNOW THAT WHO YOU ARE IS WHO YOU CHOOSE TO BE, AND THAT WHISPERS BEHIND YOUR BACK DON’T DEFINE YOU.
YOU ARE THE ONLY ONE WHO GETS TO DECIDE WHAT YOU WILL BE REMEMBERED FOR. FROM THE GIRL WHO SAID SHE WOULD NEVER CUT HER HAIR OR MOVE TO NEW YORK OR FIND HAPPINESS IN A WORLD WHERE SHE IS NOT IN LOVE. I WAS BORN IN READING, PENNSYLVANIA ON DECEMBER 13, 1989. IN THE WORLD WE LIVE IN, MUCH IS SAID ABOUT WHEN WE ARE BORN AND WHEN WE DIE.
OUR BIRTHDAY IS CELEBRATED EVERY YEAR TO COMMEMORATE THE VERY INSTANT WE CAME INTO THE WORLD, AND A FUNERAL IS HELD TO MARK THE DAY WE LEAVE IT. BUT LATELY I’VE BEEN WONDERING.WHAT CAN BE SAID OF ALL THE MOMENTS IN BETWEEN OUR BIRTH AND OUR DEATH? THE MOMENTS WHEN WE ARE REBORN. THE DEBATE OVER WHETHER PEOPLE CAN CHANGE IS AN INTERESTING ONE FOR ME TO OBSERVE BECAUSE IT SEEMS LIKE ALL I EVER DO IS CHANGE. ALL I EVER DO IS LEARN FROM MY MISTAKES SO I DON’T MAKE THE SAME ONES AGAIN. THEN I MAKE NEW ONES.
I KNOW PEOPLE CAN CHANGE BECAUSE IT HAPPENS TO ME LITTLE BY LITTLE EVERY DAY. EVERY DAY I WAKE UP AS SOMEONE SLIGHTLY NEW. ISN’T IT WILD AND INTRIGUING AND BEAUTIFUL TO THINK THAT EVERY DAY WE ARE NEW?
FOR THE LAST FEW YEARS, I’VE WOKEN UP EVERY DAY NOT WANTING, BUT NEEDING TO WRITE A NEW STYLE OF MUSIC. I NEEDED TO CHANGE THE WAY I TOLD MY STORIES AND THE WAY THEY SOUNDED. I LISTENED TO A LOT OF MUSIC FROM THE DECADE IN WHICH I WAS BORN AND I LISTENED TO MY INTUITION THAT IT WAS A GOOD THING TO FOLLOW THIS GUT FEELING. I WAS ALSO WRITING A DIFFERENT STORYLINE THAN I’D EVER TOLD YOU BEFORE.
I WROTE ABOUT MOVING TO THE LOUDEST AND BRIGHTEST CITY IN THE WORLD, THE CITY I HAD ALWAYS BEEN OVERWHELMED BY.UNTIL NOW. Mantis software download. I THINK YOU HAVE TO KNOW WHO YOU ARE AND WHAT YOU WANT IN ORDER TO TAKE ON NEW YORK AND ALL ITS BLARING TRUTH. I WROTE ABOUT THE THRILL I GOT WHEN I FINALLY LEARNED THAT LOVE, TO SOME EXTENT, IS JUST A GAME OF CAT AND MOUSE.
I WROTE ABOUT LOOKING BACK ON A LOST LOVE AND UNDERSTANDING THAT NOTHING GOOD COMES WITHOUT LOSS AND HARDSHIP AND CONSTANT STRUGGLE. THERE IS NO ‘RIDING OFF INTO THE SUNSET,’ LIKE I USED TO IMAGINE. WE ARE NEVER OUT OF THE WOODS, BECAUSE WE ARE ALWAYS GOING TO BE FIGHTING FOR SOMETHING.
I WROTE ABOUT LOVE THAT COMES BACK TO YOU JUST WHEN YOU THOUGHT IT WAS LOST FOREVER, AND HOW SOME FEELINGS NEVER GO OUT OF STYLE. I WROTE ABOUT AN IMPORTANT LESSON I LEARNED RECENTLY.THAT PEOPLE CAN SAY WHATEVER THEY WANT ABOUT ME, BUT THEY CAN’T MAKE ME LOSE MY MIND. I’VE LEARNED HOW TO SHAKE THINGS OFF.
I’VE TOLD YOU MY STORIES FOR YEARS NOW. SOME HAVE BEEN ABOUT COMING OF AGE. SOME HAVE BEEN ABOUT COMING UNDONE. THIS IS A STORY ABOUT COMING INTO YOUR OWN, AND AS A RESULT.COMING ALIVE. NICE tO MEET YOU WHERE YOU BEEN?
I COULD ShOW YOU INCREDIBLE THINGS. MAGIC, MADNESS, HeAVEN, SIN SAW YOU THErE AND I THOUGHT OH MY GOD LOOK AT THAT FACe YOU LOOK LIKE MY NEXT MISTAKE LOVE’S A GAME, WANT To PLAY? © 2014 Sony/ATV Tree Publishing/ Tay lor Swift Music (BMI),MXM.
