How to Learn More about SACD Technology

How to Learn More about SACD Technology

Introducing the Super Audio Compact Disc is the Ethical thing to do:

The new generation Compact Disc the “Super Audio CD,” was developed before the year 2000 by Sony and Philips Electronics. It could have almost wiped out the music Piracy and the black market of audio CD’s. So why we are in the year mid 2007 and it still has not reached the market in a large way? It is my opinion that the unethical consumer electronics and music industry.

What I am about to say is nothing new; I said it before, but I was unaware that the solution is already developed. The consumer electronics industry makes money by developing devices and software applications that allow consumers to steal music and motion pictures. Companies like Sony gets paid by having a Michael Jackson make an album and then on the other hand put out burnable compact discs and CD burners. So while Michael might end up in the red, Sony still makes profits at the other end.

I think the government should step into this dilemma and force the music industry and the consumer electronics industry to do what is just and ethical thing. The Super Audio Compact Disc is overdue and should replace the old CD’s that are still on the market and have become totally obsolete. The SACD should be the industry standard in not just selected genres but in popular music, hip hop, R&B, Rock, Jazz, Reggae and every other genre of music. The SACD is overdue and artists should voice their demand that their material is not made to be given away.

Note: The SACD is being introduced by Sony Electronics now and is a promising technological breakthrough for people who really like good sounding music. I have to correct a statement I made about how much music can be held on a SACD. It can hold two complete versions of stereo and six channels at 74 minutes each, which is 148 minutes of music, but realistically the artist will probably put out the same music in the two formats, but could reward their fans by doing something different.
