One and a half Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 The Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) and its member companies today (June 23, 2015)unveiled a new logo designed to help music fans more easily identify the highest-quality digital music. This significant step forward in the digital listening experience allows digital retailers to mark recordings that meet the official definition for “High Resolution Music” that was agreed to last year, in cooperation with the Consumer Electronics Association, DEG: The Digital Entertainment Group and The Recording Academy Producers & Engineers Wing. High Resolution Music is officially defined as “lossless audio capable of reproducing the full spectrum of sound from recordings which have been mastered from better than CD quality (48kHz/20-bit or higher) music sources which represent what the artists, producers and engineers originally intended.” This definition ensures consumers receive music that is delivered in a digital format that retains the highest quality captured during the creative process. More crowing here. AS Profile Equipment List Say NO to MQA Link to comment
One and a half Posted June 27, 2015 Author Share Posted June 27, 2015 isn't logo already existed?[ATTACH=CONFIG]19427[/ATTACH] Of course it is. For EQUIPMENT dear consumer, not for music....we're all meant to know this! The new Hi-Res MUSIC logo (attached), developed by 2B Communications Inc., was designed to identify those high resolution recordings that are available from digital music retailers in the U.S., Canada, and Europe for commercial downloads or streaming. The logo has been specifically designed to complement the Hi-Res AUDIO logo that is currently licensed by the Japan Audio Society for use on compatible consumer electronics devices. "“We are excited that retailers and service providers now have a Hi-Res MUSIC logo that allows audio fans to easily differentiate the highest resolution recordings from CD and compressed music offerings,” said Jim Belcher, Universal Music Group’s vice president of technology and production. " Note the RIAA logo applies to music excluding just about every country, but notice Japan is missing from their list? I don't think the USA would want to adopt something from Japan, so let's confuse the world and make our own system. AS Profile Equipment List Say NO to MQA Link to comment
bkinbk Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 What a terrible logo. Looks like it was created in 1984. Link to comment
Solstice380 Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 What a terrible logo. Looks like it was created in 1984. +1 No kidding. It looks like a road construction sign. :-( Warning! Hi Res Music Ahead! https://audiophilestyle.com/profile/21384-solstice380/?tab=field_core_pfield_3 Link to comment

new_media Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 Seriously, what a bush league logo design. The hardware logo is so much more professional looking. Anyway, doesn't matter because I have been reading all week that streaming has "won" and digital downloads are dead. Link to comment
Allan F Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 What a terrible logo. Looks like it was created in 1984. 1984 - very ominous in the Orwellian sense!

Boris75 Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 Of course it is. For EQUIPMENT dear consumer, not for music....we're all meant to know this! Well, the JAS Hi-Res logo features on many high-res recordings that Qobuz sells. To pick one example: Currency Of Man (Deluxe Edition - The Artist's Cut) | Melody Gardot – Télécharger et écouter l'album Link to comment
Daudio Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 High Resolution Music is officially defined as “lossless audio... recordings which have been mastered from better than CD quality (48kHz/20-bit or higher) music sources ... Really ? That is their idea of High Resolution ? But then, it does come from an organization that used to sue grannies for hundreds of thousands of dollar just cause the grand kids found music on the Internet. Link to comment

What is the problem with that? lets' face it, 20 bits basically never happen, and I personally agree to call anything 24bits highres, even if only 24/44 by the way.

bmoura Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 What a terrible logo. Looks like it was created in 1984. Yes, definitely out of date. But labeling things "Hi Res Audio" or "Hi Res Music" doesn't really tell you enough about the album anyway. Yawn... Link to comment

Many of my live concerts on Blu-Ray Disc are 20/48, maybe this is what they are referring to? I have dementia. I save all my posts in a text file I call Forums. I do a search in that file to find out what I said or did in the past. I still love music. Teresa Link to comment
