What is an Enhanced CD?

Enhanced CD: A general term for various techniques that add computer software to a music CD, producing a disc which can be played in a music player or read by a computer. Also called CD Extra, CD Plus, hybrid CD, interactive music CD, mixed-mode CD, pre-gap CD, or track-zero CD.

E-CD, technically known as stamped multisession, is used to refer to any audio CD that has CD-ROM data added. Most audio CDs use only about 60 minutes-worth of the disc's 74 available minutes-worth of space; E-CD takes advantage of the unused space to include extra data on audio CDs. Recording artists have used E-CD technology to include video clips, artist profiles, lyrics, interviews, animation, promotional material, and even games on audio disks.

L.A. Management Company produces Enhanced CD's containing interactive programs on Music CD's. These Interactive programs, auto launch on most PC's and can play video performances and interviews, contain band bios, photo galleries and performance schedules.
