GristyMcFisty, undoubtably risking permanent carpal tunnel damage, has used our news submit this to alert us about a DVD-Audio story at Audio Revolution. "The DVD-Audio posse has released their latest release schedule for the new format for the Holiday 2003 selling season. What is absent is the hush-hush DVD-Audio/CD flip disc technology that WEA (Warner Music) is reportedly working on. Even without a CD side, the DVD-Audio format can be played (in stereo or default surround sound mode) on one of over 75 million installed DVD players worldwide not to mention Xbox or Playstation 2 game machines." Here is a partial listing from the Audio Revolution site.

To learn more about this dual-disk technology, there is a related story at the Audio Revolution site that gives a
little more information and another
here . One thing mentioned that is hard to disagree with:
"With downloaded music picking up steam with the Gen Y and more price conscious customers, the music industry needs a high resolution physical disc to sell badly. If a feature laden DVD-Audio flip is the answer, people will consider buying music on a format that is based more on 21 century technology. One thing that record execs and consumers agree on is the fact that the CD, at per disc, is at the end of a very successful run and that something needs to replace it."
Thanks for the heads up Gristy!
