Master list of Blu-Ray Audio titles

Blu-Ray Audio seems like it's starting to catch on, albeit very slowly. I thought it would be helpful to maintain a list of titles available in this format, since this information seems to be spread out in multiples threads - usually a separate thread for each title. It's especially difficult to find info online, since searches for Blu-Ray Audio keep turning up musicals, concerts, etc.

To be clear on definitions, for the purposes of this thread, Blu-Ray Audio will only cover hi-res music on Blu-Ray disc, not video. For example, concerts on Blu-Ray (where it is intended for people to watch) would not count. On screen UI is fine. If people find this restriction unhelpful (one can always turn off the video display after all) I could see it making sense to do away with it. (Update: There is now a separate thread for concert videos on Blu-Ray which lend themselves to audio-only listening. If you're interested in that content as well, check it out here. Thanks CDLehner!)

Here's the list of Blu-Ray Audio titles as far as I know right now:

Thanks! Added.

If there's an existing list out there, it seems foolish to duplicate the effort. That said, I tend to frequent AVS, so I'd prefer to have a list here.

I'm thinking we should just keep tabs on the lists and keep them in sync. Thoughts?

How about you start another thread and I include a link in the opening post?

Thanks, baigarman36. Those were actually already listed, but definitely doesn't hurt to point them out!


Added. And subscribed.

Agreed! Thanks for posting about your label. I don't think I'd heard of it prior to this post.

To me the big distinction between audio-only vs. concert or audio + video is whether you get the full audio experience even when the TV is completely off. For example, is there a track list of the packaging so you can see which song is where in the list, and hit the Next button that # of times to get to it? Can you just put the disc in and have it start playing music, or do you have to navigate a front end UI? (Some pure audio discs such as Tom Petty's Live Anthology have this problem. I have to navigate the UI in my head just to get it to start playing.) Is there any speaking by the performers, conductor, etc. that you have to fast forward through to get back to the music?

CDLehner is putting together a list of audio+video Blu-Rays in a separate thread. Perhaps it belongs there?

As I mentioned in the original post, there's definitely a gray area where audio + video discs could make sense for the purposes of this thread. Certainly, having video for those who want it is always a good thing as long as it doesn't impact the controls or other aspects of the audio-only experience.

What does everyone else want to see? Are you interested in combining the lists and just showing the distinctions? Or would you prefer an audio-only list? Any opinions?

This is fine. Let's just make sure that all concert Blu-Rays in the list meet the following criteria:

1. 96/24 quality
2. Little/no non-music segments
3. Standard CD-like controls (skip to next song, etc.) without needing on-screen UI

Would that work?
