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:
