Now that the CDJ-2000 is coming which supports 24 bit .wav, perhaps music could be released in this way?
By my calculation, a CD-ROM can hold a little over 40 minutes of 24 bit stereo .wav. Perhaps if tracks were released in this format, artists would not be so pressured to add filler to meet 70+ minutes!
On the other hand, the CDJ-2000 also supports DVD-ROMs, which can hold up to 4 hours of 24 bit wav, so you can go that route if 40 minutes is not enough! |

how many from this scene do you think will get the cdj2000 when some of the biggest festivals still use cdj100?
And who would buy it the music in 24 bit? A few dj´s maybe.. how about the rest of the peope who have the normal cd player or just listening in the car on his way to work, it would be totally useless to them.. i dont even think ipod supports 24bit wav.

This is a chicken and egg problem! Perhaps if more music were released in a format which required the CDJ2000, then more people will upgrade their inferior equipment!
And maybe this is a local thing but in SF I would say easily 1/3 the scene would get music in 24 bit if it were available.
Perhaps the 24 bit releases could be digital only so there is no need to worry about how many people buy it. |

I think disk innovation for music is pointless. The way forward is all about soft data formats and making them sound good. Better for the environment, more convenient and time constraints are none existant. And rather than having to buy new readers every time they update, we just update our software. way cool  |

We need a cheap reusable data storage container first. SD cards and USB drives are too expensive! |

with the amount of compression and limiting that is present in most modern psy (and most other music), is there really much point to doing 24bit releases? |

i think maybe in a very far future when everyone is rich enough to upgrade there equipment it would b nice to release 24bits but like it was said here already how about those festivals that still use cdj100`s and the people that listen only at home in small sound systems and so on it was a nice thought my friend but still useless

I'll be annoying here: Ideally, 19 bit 80KHz compressed at 700Kbps would give even the sharpest theoretical ear all it could ever need under any circumstance. On a normal CD, that translates to over 150 minutes.
More stands to be gained by fixing the quarter of a century old audio standard people still use. And even that is mostly theoretical. Argue with me if you want, but I can back my words.

I think people should be more concerned with the quality of their music and not the amount of bits that are being used to store it. Needless to say that in a party situation no one would hear the difference anyway. And if you do, you are not enjoying the party.
Everyone in the world is doing something without me |

Maybe it would be a better idea to burn all the bad sound systems first so you could actually hear all the 16 bits released so far properly. |
