Beta had very good audio recording quality. Sony positioned Beta for more than just the video market, but since it never went anywhere, they didn't develop it further.
Sony did develop 8mm to offer 8 hours of extremely good 16/48 PCM audio. They had a few machines in the early 90s that worked a lot like ADAT, but again, it never went anywhere.
Now there is Blu-Ray....will it go anywhere? It's Sony....who knows.... ;)
