Sony Readies Blu-spec CD Audio Format for December Release

Sony has prepared a new audio format specifically for use with compact disc, Blu-spec CD. It takes advantage of Sony’s Blu-ray technology to press high-quality compact discs that can still be played in garden variety CD players. The electronics giant has yet to reveal how the tech works but one assumes they will issue a press release as they get closer to releasing some discs. Sony plans on releasing 60 classics on Blu-spec CD in December. The prices will range from ¥2,500 (about $25) to ¥4,200 ($42).
