CD Extra (also known as Enhanced CD, CD-E, E-CD, and CD Plus) allows you to include on your CD a track of data readable by a computer's CD-ROM drive (but that will be properly ignored by a standard CD player). This lets you include photographs, liner notes, lyrics, webpages, links to websites, and multimedia such as Flash or Quicktime movies, along with your CD's audio tracks.
