We've all heard about the possiblity of one day record companies possibly releasing high definition music on Blu-ray . Nothing has been announced so far though . Of coarse the question I ask myself is why ?

Both DVD-Audio and SA-CD has and are niche formats with SA-CD enjoying more support . Even so it's a niche format , not dead as some claim but a niche format .

So why then does Sony or anyone else who would support Blu-ray high def Audio think there might be a bigger market if they released such Audio on Blu-ray ?

And who needs all that storage space for Audio anyway ? DVD-A and SA-CD provide pristine Audio in up to 5.1 channel sound with just 4.7GB so what would they possibly do with 25GB/50GB ?
