Data caching
Software concept
Temporarily caches certain data so it doesn't need to be fetched/transferred again via slow medium (e.g. from CD/DVD or streamed from internet) during play too often. Causes extra permanent storage (e.g. HDD) space needs.

Note that this is only for caching (temporary storage) of undefined data. If the data is stored indefinitely, then it's not really caching.
