Before the introduction and subsequent popularization of iTunes and the iPod, such discs were popular for sharing music on compact disc without requiring the recipient to extract and encode the CD-DA themselves — a technical and perhaps ...
The file system was developed with a write-once CD-ROM simulator and was used to master one of the first CD-ROMs in 1986.

The file system is the basis of WOFS (Write-once File System), [2] sold by N/Hance systems in 1989.
