Compact discs (CDs) offer an improvement in artistic freedom over vinyl records  As the record needle moves in toward a vinyl record' s center, it must fight centrifugal force  Wide, shallow, or jagged grooves will cause the needle to jump; consequently, the song nearest the center -- the last song on the side -- cannot have especially loud, high-pitched, or low-pitched passages
The CD suffers no such limitations, leaving artists free to end recordings with any song
CDs provide greater artistic latitude than do vinyl records.
