An enhanced CD (also known as a CD Extra CD or CD Plus CD) is a multisession CD that contains both music tracks and computer data. The first session on the CD contains the music tracks, so a home or car stereo CD player can play them. The second session contains data intended for your computer's CD-ROM drive. Many music CDs are made as an enhanced CD to provide music CD tracks and a music video all on the same CD.
Making an Enhanced CD
To make an enhanced CD:
Start a new enhanced CD project. From the Easy CD Creator Project Selector window, click Make a Data CD, then click Data CD Project. An untitled data CD project appears.
