How does the music data get stored on a CD? What I mean is you can switch between music CD tracks with the next or previous track buttons. How does the reading head know where to jump on the spiral location where the next track begins? Is there a track directory listing containing the track start position for every track on the CD?

Essentially, yes. There is more information at Compact Disc Digital Audio - Wikipedia[^] and the links in the reference section there
Thanks for your answer
