Enter - Ireland's Monthly Interactive magazine On CD-Rom

Enter was a short-lived but ambitious venture in the late 1990s and early 2000s, designed to function as an interactive multimedia companion to the evolving digital landscape of Ireland. Produced at a time when CD-ROMs were being positioned as a hybrid of print journalism and software, the disc aimed to provide users with a tactile, computer-based experience featuring music, interviews, and features that could not be fully captured in static print. It was a product of the late-millennium optimism surrounding the 'multimedia magazine' format, which sought to bring high-fidelity audio and interactive interfaces into the home as an alternative to traditional terrestrial media.

The 2000 edition featured a curated selection of contemporary artists, including international acts like The Cranberries and Counting Crows alongside independent talent like Freedy Johnston and Cane 141. The editorial team behind Enter focused on blending the aesthetic of zine culture with the technical capabilities of Macromedia Director and similar authoring tools of the era. While these discs were praised for their novel approach to music distribution and interactive content, the format ultimately faced obsolescence as the rapid adoption of broadband internet transitioned the industry away from physical disc-based multimedia platforms toward web-based content delivery.
