Blue ray music

[admin_exported]

Hi All

I visited a well known music store recently looking for blue ray music dvds, live concerts, videos etc,

I was shocked they had very little to offer, the guy as help full as he was walked the store looking and went on the computer and still could not find me any thing!!

Any one ??

Try amazon, if it's not on amazon then you probably won't find it.

I bought most of my music blu-rays at play.com.

Got mine at Play too.

If the genre appeals, try Metallica's 'Une Nuit Dans Paris' or whatever it's called. A great music BD. Spookily realistic picture and great sound.

Porcupine Tree's 'Anesthetise' although mediocre with regards picture quality, also sounds great.

Hi,

Are you talking about Blu-Ray Audio? if so there are only a handful of discs (10ish) and available through the record label, and a single one on Amazon etc. However, there are a lot of concert/music video blu-rays on Amazon, Play etc.

All of which raises the question: Why doesn't the industry adopt (non-compressed) Blu-ray as the default audio disc format, releasing hybrid Red Book/Blu-ray discs, while the component manufacturers start producing CDPs that are Blu-ray and Red Book compatible??

You never know, such a move might stem the decline of CD and CDPs sales??

I would imagine creating a hybrid Blu-ray disc would be much more difficult to do than SACD or DVD-A DualDisc. Note there are no hybrid Blu-ray/DVD discs - they package them as seperate discs.

Since quality Blu-ray players are dime a dozen this is a non-issue. There's simply no need for a hybrid disc unless you want to rip/copy etc, then again that was not possible for SACD either...

I guess there's not enough space on one disc for a DVD and a Blu-ray's worth of movie? But if it's audio-only, then surely there's sufficient space for Red Book and Blu-ray versions on one disc, similar to hybrid SACD/CD discs?

And if we can have AV BDPs that are compatible with Blu-ray, CD and SACDs, then surely we can also have audio-only players for hi-fi playback - for folks that prefer a disc-spinner optimised for audio only - to replace CD/SACD players?

Would suggest that a hybrid Red Book/Blu-ray disc is needed to ease the transition as consumers changeover to Blu-ray/CD audio players and, as you mention, ripping to iTunes etc.

Just been sent the first two - as far as I know - Naxos audio-only Blu-rays: four Dvorak symphonies, two to a disc, in DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 and stereo PCM. Interesting...

But would this disc play in a Cd player?

Alas, no.

But if there was such a device as an 'audio-only disc player' that was Blu-ray compatible...

Ooo, just think of it - all the benefits of non-snap, crackle 'n' pop reproduction with yummy uncompressed 'studio master'-type sound.
