Question multimedia Audio CDs - June 18th, 2002, 01:36 PM

What is everybody's else's opinions of audio CDs that come with extra multimedia? I ask because I was asked in a Universal customer survey this week.

Personally, I hate when I put an audio CD into my CD-ROM drive and multimedia content starts up by itself. IMO, with Flash-based websites, put your multimedia crap up there, not on my disc.

Now, including an .mpeg video or two after the audio tracks is fine and a lot of indie labels and bands are doing this. No interference with the CD-ROM, but the content is there if you want to save it to your PC.

And Get ConnectD content, like on the new Our Lady Peace album that came out today .... that technology is cool. All the extra content is at the band's website, but having the CD in your CD-ROM while visiting the website allows you to see it.

Thoughts?

While it is annoying to have the multimedia start up when you insert a cd, it is really nice to get one or two videos included on the already overprice cd I think it adds a lot of value and is a consideration as to wether or not I will even buy the cd
I just turn off the autoplay feature on my cd rom drive and then I can choose when or if I want to view any of the multimedia content included on the cd

I agree with you. Like I originally said, I like when there are videos thrown onto the CD in, say, MPEG format. But I do have the autoplay config turned off on all my PCs and some multimedia CDs still start playing once inserted. So, I'm just saying I can live without the Flash/CDExtra type media. But I will take a couple videos that I can save to my local drive and watch any time. :sw

Yeah I wish all the artists would just use either avi or mpeg as an encoding format makes it much easier to transfer and share.
All that quicktime crap makes it much harder to transfer to the hard drive, but it can be converted which is nice.
and they can get rid of all the built in advertising it just does not belong on the cd I agree with you entirely.

DVD-A - July 8th, 2002, 09:27 PM

Are you guys taking about the DVD-A(audio) isn't this just a new way of selling us the same thing again (until the next new format comes up). 24 bit remastered with some video and sometimes 5.1 audio. Are these still .WAV format?
