carrier Explanation: Support will obviously not work here as that would apply to the canvas or paper etc on which an artist might work. Here in terms of multmedia you need to use the word carrier I think. CD are after all data carriers. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 hr (2010-08-25 16:13:39 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Carriers and supports is probably the best solution in light of the mixture being used. |
