Seriously, I can't imagine that all artists are going to trade one minor advancement (the DVD side) in order to place a major restriction (a 60 mintue time limit). Some artists will be bitching about this one very soon! I think that's a positive. My attention span is too short to really appreciate albums longer than an hour. Unless they are compilations or live albums, I generally don't care for 80 minute CDs. Are you listening, Janet??? | |

Chances are, yes, if it is longer, it will have some clunkers but it will also have some good songs. You never know...a time restriction could also mean cutting up a good track or even a really good song. That's not a chance I want to take. Make the DVD-aduio player people buy their own damn CDs and stop placing limits on ours and making us pay more! | |

I meant to buy a DVDA + SACD player in the near future but all these new formats get me mad. Anybody well informed on the matter? To cover your *current bases (CD, SACD, & DVD-Audio) you'll need to get a Universal Player. They can range from a $500 Onkyo DV-CP802 (the audiophile crowd would commit mass suicide before they'd get caught with one of these in their listening rooms) to a $13,000 Esoteric UX-1. *According to audio industry rumblings, your current bases won't be current for long. tA  Tribal Disorder
http://www.soundclick.com...rmusic.htm That may be true. These formats were nowhere near as popular as the music industry were hoping that they would be. There are very few new releases in SACD or DVD-Audio anymore. In fact, Sony, which was one of the main proponants of SACD, have pretty much abandoned the format. They're now pushing DualDisc , figuring that most people have DVD players and can watch the video content . Relatively few people have SACD or DVD=Audio players. The mass public isn't that interested in quality audio, instead preferring the convenience of Ipods and downloads , even though the sound quality isn't that great #SOCIETYDEFINESU | |

Again, if it's nearly as popular as the mini disc.... I honestly can't tell the difference between 5.1 and regular when watching movies. I don't think that it's worth messing with what an artist wants to do with the current time restirctions on a disc, not to mention throwing out CD artwork. | |

Don't the rear speakers in your stereo system work? | |

That's like listening to an album recorded in stereo on a system with only one speaker and saying it sounds just like mono. | |

Stop making albums shorter, put the CD artwork back on there and get rid of that damn useless DVD with lackluster (or no) extras! | |

Actually, you need a special DVD-audio player to fully get the quality of DVD-audio discs. DVD-Audio discs do have seperate dolby Digital tracks that can be accessed by any DVD player, but it's not truly the DVD-Audio you're hearing in those cases #SOCIETYDEFINESU | |

Man that's pretty cool if they can squish more onto one disc.
I have quite a few albums with one CD and one separate DVD. | |
