My calculations were a bit off (fatigue this night). Same question, but what the math should have noted was that the average double-density Blu Ray can hold at least 62 CDs, not 125 (25 gig X 2 for double density disks = 50 gb / 800 mb per CD = approx 62 CDs.

A question about lossless music on Blu Ray
As I replace my torched A/V equipment and ponder players, I lean toward Blu Ray, probably a PS3 at first (want game system), then if needed a next-gen player in a year or two. A question crossed my mind that I hope you experts and ponderers can answer:
- Can a Blu Ray player play music burned on a blu ray disk? Some threads talked about playing CDs, but I am talking about playing, for example, "home burned" music on a Blu Ray.
I have perhaps 300 CDs. It occurs to me that, when Blu Ray burners are affordable and, ideally, at least able to burn double density disks, I can store at least 125 CDs in uncompressed format on 1 double density Blu Ray. That's 3 Blu ray disks to house my entire collection - amazes me. What I am wondering is whether current or future gen players are likely to allow me to play these disks, again recorded in full vs. compressed version.
Not very technically sophisticated, but hopefully I conveyed the question. Thanks for the input.

i dont think you will be, it'd be like asking a cd player to play .flac files burned on a cd. you're burning the discs as storage discs rather than audio discs, there are no known audio format for blu-ray i dont think and no reason there should be.
however, with the ps3, if u burn the cd's in a format recognizable by the system, you can play them using the media center on the ps3. i think one of the formats the ps3 can play is lossless, i'm not sure.
another option would be using one of those network capable receivers, play the content on your computer through the blu-ray burner, and stream it to ur audio system.

Blu-Ray supports PCM as a manditory format, so you're ok there. The hard part will be "making" the contents of the disc. You can't just burn data to it like a data disc if you want regular players to play it. You'll need to make it into some sort of movie (could be just a black background), with lots of chapters. You'll need special software to do that.
I think the PS3 might be able to play it though. Has anyone tried burning a data CD disk or a data DVD disk with music in it to play. A similar setup might work for Bluray too.
Also you will be able to compress that 800 losslessly to a much smaller size. Others can give you specifics but that 800 can be greatly reduced with no loss to quality at all.

most music cd's are 700mb at best i'd think, a lot of music cd's i own dont even go over 50min
I've tried data CDs and DVDs and they work. I've yet to try data BDs.
Essentially what you want to do is rip your CDs in WAV files, then burn them onto BDs according to the artistes and folders. I think it can be done, provided you have the BD burner.
