With the release of the DVD discs which offered more storage space, and with the release of the original iPod and iTunes in 2001, the Compact Disc began to see its decline. The so-called longbox packaging was responsible for creating an estimated 18.5 million pounds of extra trash each year, and due to pressure from environmentalists and the public, the smaller plastic versions that we know today were developed. Originally, CD casings were unnecessarily long and bigger than necessary measuring at 6 by 12 inches, but this design was an effort to make it easier to flip through discs on shelving units designed for LPs. While the CD offered around 20 albums at launch, it grew exponentially over the years, and by the time the world got to 1991, it had overtaken the cassette by a margin. However, the CD officially made its way to the public sometime after 1983, after Sony which back then was also an electronics giant released the Sony CPD-101 CD player. James Russell invented the original Compact Disc (CD), and the design was eventually finalized when Sony and Phillips created the ‘Red Book’ standard sometime around 1980. Before talking about CDFS, we'll introduce the development of CD first.
