Quick question: Would included CD (soundtrack) and DVD commercials for a TV show count as Feature Trailers, or would they just get listed under Other?

Soundtrack I would say Other... DVD Commercials for a TV Show would either be Feature Trailers (only if it is for the main feature of the DVD set) or Bonus Trailers (If for anything other show then main feature of the set).

Commercials for the same show you are profiling: Feature trailers.
Commercials for some other show(s): Bonus trailers.
For a CD : Nothing.

EDIT: Maybe I misunderstood you. Is it a commercial for a CD soundtrack you are talking about or is the CD actually included? If the latter, you can enter it as an Other feature.

Yes, they're commercials for the main feature show, not other trailers.

No, the CD is not included with the package.  This is only for a commercial made about the CD.

I was probably getting mixed up a bit since both are accessed from the same menu item (it shows the two commercials one after the other).

Mainly considering whether a 'trailer' counts only for advertising the original show, or whether commercials for the DVD release also count.  One is a "watch this" commercial, the other is a "buy this" commercial, which is somewhat different.

Good point. The rules don't care to define the contents of a "TV Spot" but I would say that both trailers count as feature trailers. But if it's for a CD only, leave it out.

Not listed at all. This would be the same thing like the video game trailers... which we don't list at all.

Yes the DVD release would still count... still a trailer for the show.
