What about pre-recorded Music Discs???

[drtweak]

All I hear about Blu-ray is talk about movies. Will there be any Blu-ray music-only discs? If so, what companies may be releasing them and will it contain both stereo and multi-channel options? What will the resolution be? I'm hoping that with all this storage capacity they can improve over CD's 44.1kHz sampling rate big time!

I can't find anything on the Blu-ray site about music or music standards... What's up with that?

The only thing I've heard is that the Blu-ray players should be able to play the old redbook CDs as well as DVDs and SACDs. That's nice, but what about some new high-res audio standards to match the hi-def video capability? Will Blu-Ray be the first commercial digital disc system that will finally surpass the performance of my trusty old vinyl-spinner???

TIA for any help!
