The releases feature 5.1 multi-channel surround sound as well as video and concert footage, artist interviews, on-screen displays of lyrics, liner notes, menus, photo galleries, and web enabled capabilities.

The DVD-Audio format is fast becoming the next dominant packaged music format and the future successor to compact disc. Exponential sales of DVD products, sustained consumer interest in all aspects of the DVD format including on-screen bonus features and rapidly increasing awareness of the benefits of surround sound and multi-channel music are driving interest in this value added, feature laden format. DVD-Audio provides the most significant audio enhancements to packaged music delivery.
