1,100 SACD titles in Europe and still counting (5/11/2003)
The Sony team responsible for co-coordinating
production of new Super Audio CD titles reports that Christmas has
arrived two months early this year. Its target was to see 1,000
music titles available in Europe by the end of the year. However,
with two months remaining, news from the Amsterdam-based team is
that the total currently stands at 1,101 Super Audio CD titles with
many of these being hybrid, multi-channel releases.
"The rate of growth in the software catalogue
is amazing with new releases appearing every day. Also, the manufacturing
volumes are increasing with many titles being well over 100,000
units," comments David Walstra, Director, Sony Super Audio CD Business
Centre (Europe). "With Sony Music now releasing all its Super Audio
CD titles as hybrid discs we expect to see sales growth increase
even further, since hybrids sell better than single-layer discs."
