CMX is a file format in development by several major record labels intended to be a successor to MP3. CMX's premise is similar to that of Apple's iTunes LP (aka "Cocktail") format, with data such as audio, lyrics, album art and the like being contained in a single file. According to a representative of the labels launching the CMX format it: "will be a file that you click on, it opens and it would have a totally brand-new look, with a launch page and all the different options. When you click on it you’re not just going to get the ten tracks, you’re going to get the artwork, the video and mobile products.”^[1]

The first CMX albums, originally expected to be released in November 2009, are said to be an initial, small scale, trial run carried out to see if consumers respond well to the CMX format.^[1]
