Walt Disney’s label Hollywood Records will soon be offering a new CD format. that includes extra features. With hopes of encouraging CD sales, the label unveiled their new CDVU+ (CD View Plus) format. Features include digital magazine extras, song lyrics, band photos and much more to “boost fan loyalty.”

The CDVU+ will replace the standard jewel case and booklet with recyclable packaging. This format will debut on August 7th when the group Jonas Brothers release their album.

I think we all know that the way to win over a girl is to make her a mix tape. I remember spending hours going through and listening to what seemed like a million songs trying to find the right ones. I know everyone knows what I’m talking about, because everyone has either made a mix tape or received one. Now that I think about it though, it wasn’t a tape. I made mix Cd’s. “Mix cd” does not have the same ring to it is as “mix tape” does. In the same way that tapes and vinyl are not very common anymore I am willing to bet Cd’s will be phased out at some point for some new format.
