I keep seeing reference made to redbook. I have never heard this term.

Could someone please shed a little knowledge my way.

Red Book is the standard for audio CDs. It is named after one of a set of color-bound books that contain the technical specifications for all CD and CD-ROM formats.

It's the technical term that refers to CD-Audio, regular music CDs. There's a completely uninteresting backstory to it I'll spare you. If you really want to know, you can look up "Redbook" at Wikipedia.

Apparently Mao Zedong had the original plans to develop the cd format but pages from his little red book were stolen by the japanese (sony) and they conspired with philips to invent it. So redbook is a cult term to refer to the true inventor of the cd.

edited : sorry for the rude slur ( ignorance )
