Yes, it already exists. You can buy Bluray format albums and there are other high quality physical formats.

It exists but there hasn't been a proliferation of it, there's no mass-availability and there hasn't been a pilgrimage to the format in automobiles

No...


Tidal is HD audio you fool.

Anything higher would be overkill and the file sizes would be too large for something that the human ear can't even hear.....it's a science b.

Large companies aren't going to push anything when they know that the majority of people are fine with mp3s. Audiophile sound is going to remain a niche market.

If I buy an album because I want to show support... I'm always going to purchase the physical copy
:takedat:

:leon:I used to be like that but in the last 15 years I've only bought one cd, it was the weeknd trilogy, only because he gave all that music away for free digitally


I just buy digital singles or digital albums now when I wanna show support

24 bit would be cool but 99% of people will not be able to tell the difference. 32 is just wasting space.
