RDS is absolutely necessary here in Europe at least. A lot of traffic information coming that way.

CD is an old technology. You see, in the olden days people used to save music on physical media in the shape of aluminium discs covered in clear plastic. Weirdly they called it "CD", which is short for "compact disc". It's in a disc shape, but compact? I'm not so sure about that.

After a few years, they discovered that they could store movies as well, and that was called DVD, or "Digital Versatile Disc", although at first it was short for "Digital Video Disc", until they discovered it could be used to store not only video, but other things as well, such as computer programs.

Fascinating, isn't it?
