Because it's a real bitch trying to find it out there. To be specific, I'm looking for music that's released in FLAC, LPCM, or other lossless format (for example, ALAC, Monkey's Audio, TTA, TAK, etc.), 20 or 24 bit, anywhere from 48-192kHz*. 5.1 is a plus, but I'm not really expecting it. Much of the free/Creative Commons music I come across is usually not available in those formats (and what does happen to be in FLAC, like the stuff at Flaming Fish Music, is only 44.1/16/2ch).
*Just as an aside, I won't reject 16 bit if the frequency is 88.1, 96, 176.4, or 192 kHz. If it's 44.1 or 48 kHz, though, it'd better be more than stereo.
Reason being, I want to try authoring more DVD-Audio discs but don't want to simply take 44.1/16/2ch audio and use that - I want to actually use audio at levels that DVD-Audio was made to support. Currently the only thing I have that I could (and did) do that with is Nine Inch Nails' The Slip, of which I snagged the 96/24 Wave copy last year when it was released. I suppose I could also use the DualDisc of Bon Jovi's Have A Nice Day I got for Christmas a few years ago, but I really don't see the point of re-authoring that disc.
I really don't care about genre, before anyone asks. I just want to know what kinds of selections are out there. I'll see what I'm interested in later.
