Re: that's even more depressing

LOL! You can say that again! :-)

What depresses me is that both Warner and Sony have *great* catalogs full of some of the most treasured recordings ever. Of course, the commercial imperative to release these titles on hi-rez may be dwindling, but it's a real shame.

i listen to all kinds of music, and i'm an opportunistic buyer - so i tend to pick amongst what's available rather than focus on a specific genre. i don't have many classical on DVD-A, but I do have some great titles (thanks to Martin419, who recommended a few really good ones on Teldec and Arts Music).

On SA-CD, correspondingly, i have more jazz and classical (and "old geezer" pop!). I'm amazed at the SA-CD classical catalogue - it's much more respectable than most of it's critics would give credit for. The other day I was bemoaning on the other forum about the lack of Ligeti, and lo and behold tunenut highlighted a disc that contained exactly the work I was complaining about. Imagine my surprise!

It's a pity I don't find any of the recent Warner DualDiscs attractive - not really into Rob Thomas, or Simple Mind, or Donnas ... not even Neil Young (I already have one of his albums on DVD-A, and decided he's not for me).
