Never heard about dvd-audio? On which planet do you live? You know, there
is something called Google on the net. If you simply cared about listening
to what people says to you, it would have taken 10 seconds to know what is
CPPM.

By the way, I see that is impossible to have a constructive discussion with you.
You have you own, limited, vision of the world and pretend that
it has to be accepted by everybody. Just because you belive to
be correct 100% of the time.

This fact was already known to many people on the list, but now probably
it is clear to everybody.

You are smart, but you really need to improve your way to interact with
the rest of the world.

This discussion, for me, ends here.
