I understand. To the extent that the issue is software, not actual physical format differences then eventually some creative person will develop software to read it. To the extent that the difference is physical differences in the CD format then it would require a clever drive — like the Maxoptix optical drive that can read and write MO (magneto optical) and WORM drives. My assumption is that each of these formats will have specific titles that the others won't — perhaps an incorrect assumption — and my goal is to eventually tie my PC, TV, stereo, … together and be able to play all of them on all of them. The fact that the marketplace won't cooperate is no reason to keep asking. – Dan
