Sony announces new Blu-spec CD format
Audio platform that borrows from Blu-ray
5 November 2008 9:19 GMT / By Amy-Mae Elliott
Sony has announced the launch of a brand new CD format called "Blu-spec".
Announced in Japan, the technical side of things are unclear from the translated press release, but it's thought to borrow from Blu-ray.
Sony has apparently worked out a way to burn discs using Blu Laser Diode technology but keeping compatibility with existing CD drives.
The company says it will have 60 titles ready for launch on Christmas Eve, including albums from Miles Davis and ELO.
The price for the new audio CDs appear to be around the £16-27 mark, but there's no mention of a launch outside Japan yet.
