But it is some hands on work anyway, for example all Lord Of the Rings soundtracks is on a single DVDA instead of 4 CD's so it's 31 tracks with long and tedious names to write or cut and paste from some website. This is not widely announced but all 3 special edition boxes of the complete lotr soundtracks have a DVDA with 24 bit versions of the soundtrack. I,m not home now can not recall if they are 48k or 96k . The first box was marketed with this, but all 3 boxes have a dvda. This sunday I did my own genre "24 bit" a quick and dirty fix to make it easier to find my 24 bit files ( I have a whole bunch of downloads too ) sbs can sort ";" separated genres, if you alter a setting, so you can have multiple genres on a track example "jazz;24 bit" This will sort under both "jazz" and "24 bit" More advanced user employ Erlands suite of plugins, to make even better things. Not so pleased when I found out that some of BW-music club 24b files are fakes :confused: There is a document in the download that spells rigth out that the files are made from 44.1k 16b to 24b 48k with "pro-tools tweak head" So buyers beware, re 24 bit recordings, I suspect that less than <50% or worth the effort to master as 24b many discs simply sound better due the use of a much better master, so they are good anyway. The same way as the AAD DAD and DDD monikers on CD's did not tell a thing about the final sound, the production shines trough what ever format you deliver on. I suspect that SACD suffered more of this than DVD-A . Because SACD finally got a lot more content than DVD-A before both formats died, but the amount of true Hi-Rez recordings in existence is the same. So what to do if you want more content to make a format popular ? SACD was Sony's scam to replace the CD (better copy protection) so they naturally wanted everything to end up SACD regardless of pedigree . That said I appreciate any hints on where to get more good music in 24 bit :) There is some good stuff out there lets find that instead. -- Mnyb -------------------------------------------------------------------- Main hifi: SB3 (soon to replaced by a Touch :) It is on preorder) Bedroom/Office: Boom Kitchen: Receiver (soon to be replaced by my SB3 and the SBR to be stuffed in a box in the attic ) Miscellaneous use: Radio (battery pack to be ordered) I use a Controller various ir-remotes and a Eee-PC with squeezeplay to control this ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mnyb's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4143 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=75935 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
