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. 0 Comments

Today, CDRLabs brings you an in depth look at LG's new dual-format "Super Multi Blue" drive, the GGW-H10N. This all in one solution combines a Blu-ray Disc writer and HD DVD-ROM drive, giving users the ability to enjoy movies in both formats. The GGW-H10N can also store up to 50GB of data onto a single Blu-ray disc and is one of the first drives with the ability to write to BD-R media at 4x.

In this review we'll take a look at some of the features found on the GGW-H10N and see how it compares to the Blu-ray Disc writers from Sony, I-O DATA and Pioneer. Is support for both Blu-ray and HD DVD enough to put LG's new drive on top? You'll have to read the review to find out.

Over the past few years, Sony BMG has gotten a lot of bad press due to their antipiracy efforts. While not as well known as their infamous rootkit, SunnComm's MediaMax technology also caused its share of problems for the company. According to the LA Times, Sony BMG has now decided to sue the developer of the software, claiming that it "did not perform as warranted".

Sony BMG Music Entertainment is suing a company that developed antipiracy software for CDs.

Sony claims the technology was defective and cost the record company millions of dollars to settle consumer complaints and government investigations.

Sony BMG filed a summons in a New York state court against The Amergence Group, formerly SunnComm International, which developed the MediaMax CD copy-protection technology.

Sony BMG is seeking to recover $US12 million ($A14 million) in damages from the Phoenix-based technology company, according to court papers filed on July 3.

The Amergence Group has already responded to these allegations, stating that the problems were due to "Sony's under-tested release of a competitor's technology." Needless to say, this is going to be an interesting court battle. If you'd like to read more, the entire article can be found here. 0 Comments
