DVD-Audio never really took off.. What makes them think that BluRay Audio disc will.. Now if they did this with the Videos, then great.. But I dont see that happening..
Peter @ May 7th 2008 12:01AM
Next time you may want to try to read the article. The discs include videos as well as other bonus features, and will play as full BD discs, not just audio discs.

Why would I want to watch this old tosser in HD when I don't want to watch him now?
Michael @ May 7th 2008 12:36AM
Oh, well thank goodness, now I can sleep tonight.
But seriously, hopefully other artists that people actually care about get BD discs of their catalogs.

Now I actually have a reason to buy a blue ray player.
Neil has an amazing catalogue and to all of the people that are not familar with his music it is their lose.
Also these recordings represent when he was in his early twenties and his early thirties which was amazing period for him. Buffalo Springfield, CSNY and his solo material are awesome and the fact that a lot of people don't get him or understand his music is actually great, because the world is really full with a lot of ignoramus's that have no taste. When I went to his show his performance was great and even in his early sixties he still rocks. So much for being an old tosser.

DTS-MA or Dolby Tru-HD... lossless PCM? That'd be great thanks! Blu-Ray could be a TREMENDOUS format for audio releases... this is probably just a dream though. I'd love to listen to hi-fi recordings on blu-ray. Seems to be more practical than SACD (dsd issues, expensive players) or DVD-A (dead format)

"I'd love to listen to hi-fi recordings on blu-ray. Seems to be more practical than SACD (dsd issues, expensive players) or DVD-A (dead format"
Listen should be the key word. It's about the music. Can't say how much more practical Blu-Ray is than SACD. Expensive Blu-Ray players, more expensive discs, sounds like the same song.
I have never heard a TrueHD, DTS-Master audio or Dolby TrueHD music cd...anybody? So how would I know it's more practical or even better than
SACD?
DSD issues have been player related. You can buy amplifiers that support DSD via HDMI now (Yamaha RX-V663 for instance). Best deal on A DSD capable player..OPPO 980H DSD via HDMI $170.
So the only thing we are really missing is a Blu_Ray player that does what the OPPO 980H does plus the Blu-Ray side of it. Somebody needs to build me one of these so I can actually compare all the all the HD audio formats to SACD.
Know of any Artists that have a disc in all these formats?

OK, I haven't done the math.. but why 10 discs? Does Neil Young really have like half a Terabyte of content? Couldn't we just cram it all onto one disc? A Career on a Coaster, if you will?

10 discs???
Seriously, with every new technology that comes out we would be hoping that they can fit all on one disc. And again tonnes of double discs for films are coming out, 10 discs for this.
Surely he has a large catalogue, but it would be nice if there was a format that could fit a few TB's on one disc and eliminate the need for more and more discs.
Bill @ May 7th 2008 4:04AM
Gary, slow your roll, son. I use to be a Neil Young fan. However I now find his music outdated. People do move on.
Ted @ May 7th 2008 5:02AM
Music isn't technology, it doesn't just become 'outdated'. Maybe you don't like it anymore, but that doesn't mean it's outdated.
mda20 @ May 7th 2008 7:20AM
Hey, I have an old Rockem Sockem Robots game. Can I re-package it and sell it as a new idea? I wouldn't buy it but I'm sure someone will. Besides if you truley love music, nothing beats analog........
tranzparentl @ May 7th 2008 7:39AM
Exactly as others said, where's DVDA and SACD? Blu-ray music CDs will never take off. Stick to concerts on Blu-ray.
Joe Maki @ May 7th 2008 9:19AM
Yes, the format war revisited where both lost due to poor studio support. BD may have a chance since it is "THE" high definition disk standard now :).
I hate to think what the 10 disc set is going to cost. It will probably only be affordable for hard core NY fans.
Mojo_Yugen @ May 7th 2008 9:04AM
"it was also noted that fans could download more songs, photos and tour information via their internet-connected decks"
Because there isn't room on the disc?
Because they are too lazy to finish it before they release it?
Because they want to bundle ads with the content or something?
Joe Maki @ May 7th 2008 9:22AM
And how do you download songs? Do the players have presistant storage?
Not an issue for me since my Panny player doesn't have a network connection.

Nine Inch Nails Releases Free Album In High Definition Audio
Tren Reznor is not only breaking the old distribution model, he's even breaking the newest, like Radiohead's pay-what-you-want: Nine Inch Nails' latest album—The Slip—is 100% free, no payment required in any case, not even when you download the whooping 1.2GB version—which includes high definition WAVE 24/96 files (better-than-CD-quality 24bit 96kHz audio.) You can also choose from high-quality MP3s, FLAC lossless and M4A lossless.
Here's a link to download the album free: http://dl.nin.com/theslip/signup

=====================================================
Ooops, careful now.
You'll be letting tha cat out of the bag about music & movie source quality next and how Blu-ray's bitrates and capacity don't alter that one little bit.
Steady, don't dilute the propaganda!
Seeing as just about all of everybody's (who's any good & durable) music is already available on FLAC what is the point of this other than as another repackaging gouge of the loyal fans?
Truth Teller @ May 7th 2008 1:14PM
...oh, and good job NIN!
JDS @ May 7th 2008 2:07PM
@ Truth Teller
1. Nine Inch Nails download is not Blu-Ray it is a WAVE 24/96 download.
2. The quote: "which includes high definition WAVE 24/96 files (better-than-CD-quality 24bit 96kHz audio" is DIRECTLY cut & paste from Nine Inch Nails website so take it up with them as they OBVIOUSLY know FAR MORE THAN YOU DO
3. Neil Young chose Blu-Ray over .flac take it up with him as he OBVIOUSLY knows FAR MORE THAN YOU DO
4. You are simply FOS
Truth Teller @ May 7th 2008 2:20PM
Yeah JDS.
Nevermind the whooshing noise going right over your head, eh?
FFS, laughable.
JDS @ May 7th 2008 7:22PM
@ Truth Teller
The only whooshing noise going on is that of your gaping anus, you over bloated wind bag.
According to you "just about all of everybody's (who's any good & durable) music is already available on FLAC" [A direct quote from your previous post]
Where can I get any part of Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, Jane's Addiction, Audioslave, Rush, The Beatles, Bob Marley, Stone Roses, Kasabian, Primal Scream, The Raconteurs etc....where can I get the .flac files?
And I don't mean CDs ripped & saved in .flac.
I mean studio quality recordings delivered in .flac not converted to .flac from a lesser format as there is a difference.
Please enlighten me since you know EVERYTHING.
Truth Teller @ May 8th 2008 5:41AM
JDS
The only person t!ting about here pretending to know everything is yourself, with your pretending that all the flac files available atm are just ripped CDs.
(......and the comment about source quality obviously did go totally over your head. :P )
Don't be such a tw@t.
