if there is an "audio only" I am unaware of it. In case this is the source of confusion, the audio discs I referred to earlier are high end high resolution audio discs published on dvd medium. They are largely remixes from the master tracks of various albums, taking advantage of both the three dimensions of 5.1 audio, plus the higher resolution audio supported by the dvd disc. Sadly the idea never really took off outside of us audiophiles, and am not sure many are being made now, which has also driven the price on many of them way up (the Foreigner and ELP discs are now 100 dollars or more) but there are some really great offerings out there.

Does blu-ray cost more? yes, though I've found many titles on ebay and the like for far less than list. And the performance, features, and look vastly exceeds dvd.
