The Saddle Club (kid's series about horses from the 1990s) updated some of their earlier books to change references to cassettes and the like to CDs.
This also produced a bit of a funny snarl in the first book. The original version had a character buy ten cassettes at $6-7 each, and wipe out the $65 she had saved up for something else. The newer edition has her buy ten CDs at $10-12 each... except she still only had 65 dollars to begin with.
