what is a redbook cd player?


I keep hearing or rather reading his term what does it refer to? I get the fact that it is a good player but is there something that determines redbook? thanks folks, as they say there are no dumb questions, only dumb answers.

So, I'm still a little confused. Redbook then refers to the media? If so, where can one buy "Redbook" Cds? Do they sound much better than "regular" CDs????
You are confused. "Redbook CD" is redundant. All CDs conform to the Redbook standard. That's what makes them CDs.
