Disney music label Hollywood Records is looking to offset the industry-wide decline in traditional music CD sales by offering up a new CD format which packs discs with exclusive digital extras. Dubbed CDVU+ (CD View Plus), the discs will feature traditional music tracks, but replace the standard CD booklet and jewel case packaging with recyclable packaging on on-disc exclusive content, including images, song lyrics, video clips, and other media. The idea is to convince consumers traditional music CDs are still a good value.

Disney Mix Max Boasts Video and Music
Disney has had some success with its digital music products aimed at kids, so now the company is setting its sights on digital video with the Mix Max, a new personal media player which supports digital music, video, and even full-length movies.
“With the Disney Mix Stick, we proved that kids were ready for digital music,” said Chris Heatherly, Disney Consumer Products’ VP of global electronics, in a statement. “The plug-and-play experience also proved to be a winning feature for parents who welcomed the idea of not having to download music for their kids. We saw an opportunity to do for video what the Mix Stick did for audio—make it accessible, easy, and designed for kids with a unique sense of personal style.”
