For Existing Partners. Red Book (CD standard) Compact Disc Digital Audio (CDDA or CD-DA) is the standard format for audio compact discs. The standard is defined in the Red Book, one of a series of "Rainbow Books" (named for their binding colors) that contain the technical specifications for all CD formats. Standard[edit] The first edition of the Red Book was released in 1980 by Philips and Sony;[1][2] it was adopted by the Digital Audio Disc Committee and ratified as IEC 60908 (published in 1987).[3] The second edition of IEC 60908 was published in 1999[4] and it cancels and replaces the first edition, amendment 1 (1992) and the corrigendum to amendment 1. The IEC 60908 however does not contain all the information for extensions that is available in the Red Book, such as the details for CD-Text, CD+G and CD+EG.[5][6] The standard is not freely available and must be licensed. It is available from Philips and the IEC.
Basic specifications[edit] The basic specifications state that: Audio format[edit] Sample rate[edit] Pre-emphasis[edit] International Standard Recording Code. The International Standard Recording Code (ISRC) is an international standard code for uniquely identifying sound recordings and music video recordings. The code was developed by the recording industry in conjunction with the ISO technical committee 46, subcommittee 9 (TC 46/SC 9), which codified the standard as ISO 3901 in 1986, and updated it in 2001. An ISRC code identifies a particular recording, not the work (composition and lyrical content) itself.
Therefore, different recordings, edits, and remixes of the same work should each have their own ISRC code. Works are identified by ISWC codes. Recordings remastered without significant audio-quality changes should not have unique ISRC codes, but the threshold is left to the discretion of the record company. History[edit] ISO 3901 was finished in 1986. The Japanese recording industry began encoding ISRCs on audio CDs in November 1989. Format[edit] ISRC codes are always 12 characters long, in the form "CC-XXX-YY-NNNNN". See also[edit] RESOURCES - ISRC - Home Page. RESOURCES - GRid - Home Page. “What is GRid?” GRid provides a system for the unique identification of "Releases" of music over electronic networks, so that they can be managed efficiently.
A Release is defined precisely in the Standard but can be understood as a collection of recordings or other media that are grouped together for commerce. Products can be made from Releases by, for instance, choosing a technology to encode the recordings (such as MP3 or AAC) or a business model (such as sale or rental). By assigning a unique GRid to a Release, it can be identified without ambiguity in, for instance, reports of sales of products based on the Release. “How do I use GRid?” You can download the Grid Standard and the GRid Handbook from this site to see how they work and the benefits they will give you. “Why would I want to use GRid?” GRid was developed to be an effective identifier in the online music world.
