In today's world, CD-i Ready has become a topic of great relevance and interest to a wide variety of people. Whether in the academic, professional or personal field, CD-i Ready awakens the curiosity and attention of many people globally. Throughout history, CD-i Ready has been the object of study, debate and reflection, and continues to be a topical and relevant topic in today's society. In this article, we will explore in detail and comprehensively the impact and importance of CD-i Ready, as well as its implications in various areas of daily life.

CD-i Ready is a compact disc format for mixing audio and data content on a CD. It was developed by Phillips in 1991, based on the CD-i format. The CD-i Ready format uses a certain technique to get audio CD players to skim over the CD-i software and data. CD-i Ready places the software and data in the pregap of track 1 (index 0). Since most CD players assume that the pregap area contains only silence, they skip it. Because of this, CD-i Ready was presented as an alternative to CD-i (which stores data in the regular indexes of the first tracks of a disc), which was more compatible with audio CD players.

The term "enhanced CD" is sometimes used to refer to different CD formats that support a mix of audio and data content. Apart from CD-i Ready and CD-i, these formats include mixed mode CDs and the Enhanced Music CD format.
