This month, the compact disc turns 25.

Will it make it to 30? What about even 27?

I remember the hype, the buzz. It would be better than buttered bread. A whole new sound, a freedom to our music. No more hiss and pop of the 33 (I MISS THAT SOUND) no more of that electronic buzz of the 8-track when it changed in the middle of the song (I THINK I STILL HAVE A COUPLE) and the constant clicking of the wheels of a cassette ( UM . . . MY HUSBAND STILL HAS SUCH A PLAYER IN HIS SEMI).

It was a musical revolution.

No it wasn�t. It was like a wig to wear until your hair gets longer, or better yet, it was like hair extensions. There � that�s more modern. Today with MP3s and iTunes, it now seems like the CD was a technology appetizer.

Here�s something fun:

What was the first commercial CD to be released?

There is a debate about the first ever pressed CD. What two CDs are both reported to hold this honor?

What was the best selling CD of 2006?

1st CD - ABBA "The Visitors", don't know the other one.

I'm guessing on the 2006 - toss up between Nickelback and pussycat Dolls

Ooo, I can't wait to find out the answers to those questions.

I acquired my first CD - Sting's The Dream of the Blue Turtles" at the age of 19. I was a few years behind the learning curve on CDs, but my collection has grown exponentially since then! Thanks for this cool factoid!

I am one of the rare person who still buys CDs. I had at least a thousand when I lost my things in a fire (the insurance man still do not believe me because in his mind nobody has cds anymore). I do not download and I do not see myself starting it one day. When I want to listen to a song I do not have on a CD I go on YouTube.

By the way I also miss the sound records made smile.
