Fantastic Multimedia Features!

Secure Web Link

Grant your customers exclusive access to protected Web content - all they need is one of your original discs. Secure Web Link does not require passwords or certificates. Provide restricted access to downloadable music files or software updates, access to support areas, special merchandising offers like concert tickets or posters, etc..

How does it work?
When the key2audioXS™ disc is inserted into the drive, an authentication process verifies the disc. If the disc is an original, it can be played back on PC and allows the user to access CD-Extra content and/or a Web link. The Web link connects the user directly to a dedicated Web area (e.g. the artist's or publisher's site) where the value-added bonus material of the corresponding disc is available for tethered download or streaming.
key2audioXS™ prevents unauthorized usage, copying and distribution of online files, so only customers who have purchased an original key2audioXS™ disc have access to your bonus content.

n-CD - makes each disc unique!

This exclusive concept allows the placement of premium content on top of a conventional music CD granting only owners of an original access to the bonuses via Internet. The n-CD is a unique direct marketing tool with one-to-one marketing opportunities for music labels and exclusive cash-value features for their consumers. Modern disc identification technology ensures that these premium features are exclusively reserved for only one user of an original disc.

n-CD pairs disc content with a secure web link, which is solely accessible via a unique identification number inscribed on the disc. The technology ensuring that only owners of an original disc can access the bonus area is called Postscribed ID™. This disc identification method connects the disc with the secure web link. Business can use the data as a basis for upcoming offers and to tailor marketing offers to the customer. With the n-CD one-to-one marketing and customer relationship management is now becoming reality for the entertainment and information business
