Apostraphies(sp?) are for use as possesives: Where is that CD's case?
The 's' on its own is for pluralisation: Where are all my CDs?

Apostrophe is also used where there are letters missing.
They're = They are
Ma'am = Madam
and the one everyone gets wrong
You're = You are
as opposed to
Your = belonging to you

Just C.D., short for compact discs.

Yeah, but also for compact discs if you think about it.
It wasn't a real answer though, that would be 'ceedees'.
