<< Blu ray is likely to become a mainstream music format. >>Where in the world do you come up with this stuff?
Two years ago the music industry was in a panic because CD sales were down 10%. But do a little bit of math before you make silly statements. There are nearly 1,000,000,000 CD players world-wide. Which is, oh, only about 1000 times as many CD players as compared to Blu-Ray players.
So if you are trying to sell music discs, do you think it would make more sense to release a CD (with a billion potential customers), or a Blu-Ray (with a million potential customers)?
We've already seen this same scenario play out with SACD and DVD-A. "Those who fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it." Get a clue.
