I have to agree with Todd. Hidden tracks will make your CD less compatible with some players (probably a bigger problem in the past than now, but who can be sure?) The only reason that I would even consider using them would be ro make an "enhanced CD" with video on it (and even so, if you must have video it might well be better to use a printed link on your cover or to just make a DVD). As usual, YMMV.
