Additional Information MD Disc Types There are two types of MDs: Premastered (prerecorded) and Recordable (blank). Premastered MDs Premastered MDs, which have been recorded at music studio, can be played back like regular CDs. On an MD of this type, data is recorded as the presence or absence of tiny pits. A laser beam focuses on the pits on the surface of the MD and reflects the detection back to the lens in the MD recorder. The MD recorder then decodes the signals and plays them back as music.
