| Dec 25, 2022 at 20:15 | comment | added | Stephen Kitt | Also, perhaps pedantically, a disc which doesn’t follow the standards can’t be called a CD. | |
| Dec 25, 2022 at 19:54 | comment | added | dirkt | There are various copy-protection schemes which bend the existing "rainbow book" standards. Do those count? After all, they are not "different standards". And I don't think a single CD drive has ever been built that doesn't follow the "rainbow book" standards - what would be the point? | |
| Dec 25, 2022 at 19:41 | comment | added | Stephen Kitt | Did you really mean to include DVDs and Blu-rays? Those aren’t described by the rainbow books, so your question as stated has a rather trivial answer but I imagine it’s not the one you’re looking for. | |
