Enhanced CDs

An enhanced CD is a standard music CD that has multimedia CD-ROM files in addition to the music tracks. Usually, the container prominently displays this information, advertising “multimedia,” “software,” “CD-Extra,” “CD-pluscore” or the like.

These CDs should be cataloged as music CDs, with the following additions:

BBC Music Magazine CDs

These are CDs that are issued with BBC Music Magazine. They normally say “BBC Music Magazine” on the label and give a volume and issue number on the container spine. The publisher numbers begin with “BBC MM.”

Do not record “BBC music magazine” as a series in 440, 490, or 830.

Instead, give the note:
