Ah, cheers for that... it's very interesting some of the strange hybrid formats that came and went in the 90s (and thereabouts!).

Cheers.

Here is the CDV I was talking about.

It's a CD Video so it's like a CD-ROM. Blur "Tender" is one.

That's an "enhanced CD" - a CDV is much older and the video is analogue so cannot be played on a computer.

Not really, "enhanced" CDs were later and more common - CDV was a specific format in the late 80s - a considerable number of titles were released [I've seen a list of several hundred] but they sold in very small numbers. :smile:

I Remember them they were Expensive. At £6.99 Each, That's 7 Vinyl Singles £0.99p Each. Or Two CD's £3.99p Each. I Bought One and when Played on my Modern Equipment. The Picture Is Grainy, To the Point of Foggy, And the Sound Is Duff to the Point of Inaudible. So Glad I only Bought One.H.

Sadly many CDVs were made by PDO Blackburn which was notorious for the bronzing CDs in the 80s/90s. I've got a few made in Japan and France and they still play fine, although all my UK ones are a mixture of snowstorms and static on the video track. The CD part plays perfectly on all of these still so some are worth keeping.

I think having scans means that we shouldn't have to mention the packaging all that often unless it's something unusual.

It's always hard to get a balance of having enough useful disc/vinyl types vs having too many so that people get confused (and possibly put off) entering their own CDs into the database.

It sounds cheeky but I think most people aren't too interested in whether a jewel case is slim or wide.

Once again a balance between discogs style mega-detail vs the average music fan

How can images differentiate between a digipak and a card sleeve?!

I can't see how one extra field for package type would put people off - just a simple drop-down option. I don't think that would take us into discogs territory

Package type also helps to differentiate between different versions of a release as many CD singles were released in jewel and digipak versions or a card and a digipak. The package also often varied between countries.

I have one (by Wet Wet Wet) with the same layout, BUT, its diameter is 8" and it has a big hole, like a 45. It's one-sided and plays 25 minutes. Could I enter it ?

Can we have "Interview Disc" added please. We have it in 45cat and I have a CD version of a 45 interview disc.

Thanks.

Added. Sorry for the wait.

If an interview disc is longer than 25minutes I'd hold it back for the album website (Coming later this year hopefully)

I do think CDV's should be listed as a different format, or as 'Enhanced CD', as some CD's come with, or without videos This one, and this being an example.

Maybe leave that for the album website too.

Apologies that I missed this question until now.

OK I think these have convinced me....

It does seem to have gotten the record label push as a separate format.

Will add it now.

Enhanced CD's are something different all together. The video or other content
is in CD-ROM format, to be viewed using a computer drive usually with provided
software.

Is that like one of those CD Singles with a CD ROM video, but without any 'CD' tracks?
At one time they all had those videos - eg Nikki Webster
Some would obligingly play in your default media player, but there were really annoying ones that required you to install yet more crap on your PC in order to view, which I refuse to do (he said, cutting off his nose...)

Yeah a lot of them needed Quicktime installing, which is a crappy piece of software at the best of times...

Is there a reason that Bootleg does not exist as a format choice when adding new CD's? That choice exists for CD singles, but not for CD's.

I have a CD ROM by Stackridge DAP105CDR called CD Romp, from 2001.
It needs to be loaded into PC browser to be opened and navigated, and contains photographs, press cuttings, reviews, 40 minutes of live music, 20 minutes video, mp3 music files, radio interviews and more besides.
a) should this be entered as a CD Album? Or if not, where?
b) and if so, how do you even begin to give a track listing? Perhaps you don’t and just give a synopsis in the notes?
