The compact disc (CD) was originally designed to hold audio data. The information on the CD is arranged in a specific format that divides the data into segments. Hardware design considerations in effect at the time the CD was developed dictated that each second of audio would span exactly 75 sectors on the CD.

a. Using stereo audio at a standard high-quality audio CD sample rate, what is the maximum number of bytes that can be stored in a single audio CD sector?

b. How many minutes of CD quality audio can a 700-MB CD hold?

c. How much storage is required to hold 5 minutes of CD-quality audio? What types of media are available to hold this amount of data?
