In an
attempt to give CD sales a much needed boost, Disney's Hollywood Records will start offering a new CD format with extra features.
According to Reuters, the CDVU+ (CD
View Plus) format reads like a digital magazine, offering extras like song lyrics, photos, videos and access to downloadable
content.
Walt Disney Co. (DIS.N: Quote, Profile, Research) music label Hollywood Records is offering a new CD format with
extra features to encourage compact-disc purchases in a bid to reverse declining CD sales.
Hollywood Records on Wednesday unveiled
its new CDVU+ (CD View Plus) format with digital magazine extras, song lyrics, band photos and other extras to boost fan
loyalty.
The new format also replaces the traditional CD booklet and plastic jewel case with recyclable
packaging.
While I don't think CDVU+ will give CD sales the boost Disney wants, the switch to recyclable packaging should
make the tree huggers happy. If you'd like to read more, the entire article can be found here.
