Disc
Makers Makes Major-Label-Quality Enhanced CDs Available for Independent
Artists
PENNSAUKEN,
NJ – May 28, 2003 –
In the past, special features such as an enhanced CD were only available
to signed artists on major record labels. The cost of design, production,
and duplication was too high for independent artists to absorb. However,
today, there is a company that is leading the way in making CD enhancements
affordable for independent artists.
Disc Makers, the nation's largest independent media manufacturer and
avid supporter of the independent music scene, has multimedia specialists
in-house that will custom design and produce interactive multimedia
presentations for any CD project. With the addition of high-quality
video clips, Flash animation, and screen savers to interviews, promotional
materials, and Web links, Disc Makers multimedia specialists provide
independent artists with the highest quality work for the absolute
lowest price in the industry.
"Major record labels have been using Enhanced CDs to promote
their artists and provide added value for music fans," says Disc
Makers' Vice President Tony van Veen, "but now that same technology
is available for independent bands at an affordable price. Enhanced
CDs are revolutionizing how independent artists market and sell themselves."
The average audio CD only uses about 60-minutes worth of the disc's
74 available minutes of space. Enhanced CD technology takes advantage
of the unused space to include extra data, photos, and video. Moreover,
an Enhanced CD can serve as an electronic press kit, including everything
from biographical information, music, photos, video clips, merchandise,
and links to the artists' Web sites.
