Universal players wont save them here, as there were many of those and they didn't help DVD-A/SACD sales at all and now both SACD/DVD-A are pretty much dead. Its a pity because either one when properly mastered sounded outstanding, particularly on a really good HT system. Pink Floyd DSOTM, Queen A Night At The Opera I'm looking at you.

Its like the old train track scenario. Long long ago there were different track widths and rail sizes that meant that trains couldn't run on every track. This made train transit/shipping unviable for a large part of the US.
Finally all the railroad companies agreed on how the track should be made, redid the railroads to this new standard, and ALL companies profits exploded as a veritable golden age was ushered in for rail transit.

This is the same scenario, if theres one standard everyone will stick to all the content producers will get on board and everyone will win. Right now nobody wins.]]>Sep 12th 2006 10:00PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2006/09/11/is-the-music-industries-fate-in-the-hands-of-high-def-media-prod/http://hd.engadget.com/2006/09/11/is-the-music-industries-fate-in-the-hands-of-high-def-media-prod/Sep 11th 2006 3:02PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2006/09/11/is-the-music-industries-fate-in-the-hands-of-high-def-media-prod/http://hd.engadget.com/2006/09/11/is-the-music-industries-fate-in-the-hands-of-high-def-media-prod/Sep 11th 2006 4:00PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2006/09/11/is-the-music-industries-fate-in-the-hands-of-high-def-media-prod/http://hd.engadget.com/2006/09/11/is-the-music-industries-fate-in-the-hands-of-high-def-media-prod/Sep 11th 2006 6:46PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2006/09/11/is-the-music-industries-fate-in-the-hands-of-high-def-media-prod/http://hd.engadget.com/2006/09/11/is-the-music-industries-fate-in-the-hands-of-high-def-media-prod/
Most music lovers want to buy good quality music, we just don't want to get bent over by stupid copy protection.

For the record, I'm 23, have a ~5,000 dollar STEREO system and would love to pay money for more high quality, high resolution music for it. Don't leave me hanging, or ruin it by making it overly difficult to have a burnt copy in my car, (so I don't have to worry about it getting scratched or stolen). ]]>Sep 11th 2006 11:20PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2006/09/11/is-the-music-industries-fate-in-the-hands-of-high-def-media-prod/http://hd.engadget.com/2006/09/11/is-the-music-industries-fate-in-the-hands-of-high-def-media-prod/Sep 12th 2006 10:04AM
