The technology was popular in the late 1990s and early 2000s with the increase of computer usage. Music CDs often included [[music video]]s, wallpapers, and other various content. However, more recently, acts wishing to include enhanced content often include a [[DVD]] instead, with the disadvantage of it not playing in a CD audio player, but with the advantage of storing greater amounts of data and/or higher-quality video.

==Problems==
{{Original research|section|date=December 2022}}
Sometimes computer CD-ripping programs (particularly [[cdparanoia]] and [[CDBurnerXP]]) have problems ripping some enhanced CDs, especially those that have the data in a separate section after the audio section. These CDs have the data 11,400 sectors (2m32s) after the audio, but some CD rippers may try to rip this blank section with the last track; the end result is that the ripper stalls during the last track or simply reports errors.

Some more modern computers have difficulty reading the computer data off an Enhanced CD, and require separate software to detect it.

Formats that fall under the enhanced CD category include mixed mode CD (Yellow Book CD-ROM/Red Book CD-DA), CD-i, CD-i Ready, and CD-Extra/CD-Plus (Blue Book, also called simply Enhanced Music CD or E-CD).[2]
