Explanation : It's commonly used for MP3 players, computer BIOS code and "thumb"
drives. Originally developed in Japan by Toshiba, it has become quite popular for
products requiring non-volatile erasable memory. Flash devices have a limited number of
erase cycles (typically 10,000 to 1,000,000 cycles) so they're not as good a choice for
applications in which the data changes constantly. However, since it has no moving parts
(unlike a hard disk) it is an excellent choice for storing the operating code for small
personal electronics like PDAs, cell phones, digital cameras, and the data in items like
MP3 players.

Explanation: CDs reproduce 44,100 samples per second. Which has a maximum
frequency reproduction of 22,050 Hz, or just a hair past the upper limit of human hearing.
In this way CDs can theoretically reproduce any frequency in the human hearing range.
