High-End Audio: Creative and Terratec

Audio DVD, Continued

Certain audio DVDs sometimes offer a list of the tracks they include and indicate which players can read them. While the lists are not systematically provided, the lists are sometimes wrong as well. For instance, "Hotel California" by The Eagles has DTS tracks that are not listed.

For DVD audio, Creative was able to jump on the bandwagon and offer features of interest to new media buffs. Nevertheless, certain DVD audio features were left out.
