SONY and Philips.

DVD-Audio doen't sound nice just for it's name.
I don't know about the technical stuff though.
But, if it's dedicated for music then why use such a name that's popular with movie?

SACD sounds good to me but, its logo look ugly...
HAHAHA




ya need something more than CD for sure though...

DVD stands for Digital Versitle Disc. The full name for the format that the DVDs that you buy in video stores is called DVD-VIDEO. The audio-only format is called DVD-AUDIO. Sure, it MAY be popular with video distribution FOR NOW but, DVDs can hold ANYTHING, just like CDs so, expect more applications to use it in teh future. In fact, right now, there is software distributed on DVDs (Playstation 2 games, Nintendo Gamecube games, Micdosoft X-Box games and software, PC (all OSs)/Apple Macintosh software, road map software for navigation devices (instead of GPS), and more) so, DON'T say that DVD equals movie because your VERY wrong. Read the DVD FAQ at http://www.dvddemystified.com/ if you want A LOT of information about DVD, the formats used on it, etc.

It's either out or coming out already...

SONY just made a portable device that can play WAV, MP3, and WMA files on a CD[-R/RW] or DVD[-R/RW?] and if the unit was hooked up to a TV, it can be used as a DVD-VIDEO player to watch movies! Price: ~300 USD

I dont see dvds or anything else really replacing cds for a number of reasons. First of all theres millions of people who already have cd players who might not want to shell out a bunch of cass for something else. Secondly artists wouldnt be able to take advantage of the amount of storage in say a dvd because they dont put out enough material.

i just can't wait tell some guy makes up some kind of dvd burner

you cant put very much on MDs and they cost more than blank CDs. MDs are very convient and last a long time on one battery and are very small.

I like the idea of DVD writers and stuff. I also like hard drive based or flash disk things, except dropping it would suck
Hard drive based players will probably get smaller and more space.

LPMD!!!!! 320 minutes of music in high quality on a mini disc!!!
I LOVE MINIDISC!!
