Enhanced CD Mastering

The enhanced CD (E-CD) format is an extended version of the standard audio CD that allows multimedia data to be included. This extra data, invisible to normal CD players, is read when the disc is inserted into a computer CDROM drive and can contain images, videos, photos, and text information such as an artist's biography or catalog information.

The data portion behaves exactly like CDROM content and needs to be prepared as such. At 24-96 Mastering, we can author an E-CD duplication master on CDR from your existing audio and multimedia content. The multimedia content should be provided by the client in its final form, complete with content and application architecture. If you need help in producing the multimedia data we can refer you to one of our trusted partner companies.
