Another sign SACD is dying


I went to Best Buy to purchase some SACDs and after searching for the special section containing sacds and xrcds without success, I asked the salesman where they were. He informed me that they were all removed since dual disc is now the rage. WOW!

Tvad...Good idea, but why not cut out the middle man, and have orchestras or individuals put up their own stuff, as is happening in the pop music field. For example: the Boston Symphony Orchestra could offer downloads of its live performances for those unable to attend in person.

I bet the fly in the ointment would be the musicians union.
Since orchestras like the SFSO, RCO and LSO issue and own their recordings, there's no reason they cannot offer downloads as the opportunity become financially attractive. In fact, I expect that is inevitable.
