Universal supports SACD


Universal Music Group just announced that it will support SACD with the objective of making SACD the preferred recording format.

Also, Sony just added another manufacturing facility that is producing 500,000 SACDs/month and has a capacity to turn out over 1 million SACDs/month. This is in addition to its two other facilities. Sony announced that there are currently 440 SACD titles (170 Sony) and there would be 1,000 by March 2002. That would mean an average of 80-100 new SACDs/month for the next 6 months.

Looks to me that SACD greatest shortcoming (the software) is being addressed.
