HDCD CD's


I buy a lot of cd's (mostly "popular" music). I am quite disappointed that HDCD's are not so common. How come?
And I do have a HDCD player!
Thank you for looking.

xrcd releases are mostly or all reissue. so jvc uses superior electronics for their reproduction, so big deal. a dollar or tow more would be one thing but i will NOT pay $26 new or $16 used for them!
hdcd is used on many more discs than supposed. of all the useless places for it was Neil young's mirrorball. you have to look for the hdcd logo SOMEWHERE on the label of the cd or watch for the hdcd light to come on your cdp. notice that hdcd isnt extra price, and neither are a lot of the sacd releases. heres a whole new technology, the one we deserved in the first place instead of redbook.
xrcd will rot on the shelves if they wait for me to buy. sacd otoh was worth the hardware money i spent to get that capability.
