Connected Media Experience
From Just Solve the File Format Problem
Connected Media Experience (CME, originally known as CMX) is a (presumably defunct) digital music album format. It was developed by a consortium of the same name, set up by a group of big media companies: Sony, Warner, Universal, and EMI.
Apple refused to adopt the format, and instead developed their competing iTunes LP format.
