The new label will come complete with its own A&R (artists and repertoire), marketing, promotion and publicity functions. But where it differs from other record labels is in the format of its product. Instead of producing musical compact discs, Nu.millennia produces CD-ROMs that combine music and video clips.

The new record label is charged with discovering and signing new talent to exclusive contracts with Nu.millennia. Scouting talent "Our primary function is to scout new and emerging talent with whom we will create and develop the most original and exciting interactive enhanced CDs," Atkinson said. To create their enhanced CD musical packages, Nu.millennia uses the proprietary mTrax technology. Each CD-ROM contains up to 10 tracks of digitally mastered music, plus music videos, artists interviews, concert footage, behind-the-scenes recording sessions, artist biographies, liner notes and current concert dates. To get its start, Nu.millennia has inked deals to license recordings and performances from artists signed to other record labels.

The list price of the product runs in the $15 range, about the same as the typical music compact disc. Over the next 12 months, Nu.millennia plans to release between 20 and 30 titles. Additionally, Nu.millennia is developing an enhanced CD for Soundgarden to be distributed by the band's record label, A&M Records.
