No, because CD is more than one letter. The plural is CDs.

Is that true, mollusque? I don't remember ever knowing that. So cd's is correct for more than one cd, is it?

Except for plurals of letters (e.g., "a's", "b's", not "as", "bs").

An apostrophe does not a plural make.

I'd give up my whole apostrophe to have an id.

Remember always to use an apostrophe (not an open quote mark) when it appears at the beginning of a word, e.g. ’cause (for because) and ’60s rather than ‘cause and ‘60s.

Alas, the evil microsoft delights in making unsolicited corrections.

Don't put apostrophe's where they don't belong.
