What are the odds of Warp re-releasing any of their back catalogue on either of these formats?

Hopefully never, since these formats take the concept of "fair use" and throw it out the window. (no digital copying)

I wasn't thinking from that side of things I was thinking more of cost. You do have a point though.

All future formats will be virtual...
"Why shift atoms when you can shift bits?...."....that's what digital means....

SACD has a decent chance. The big selling point is better quality, but it seems like a lot of people think that 128 kbps mp3s sound good enough so that might be a tough sell to the average person.
I've seen hybrid CD/SACD discs for about $19, so that's not way more than a regular CD. It will play on a regular CD player (but obviously you won't get the SACD fidelity).

i don't see how you can get a cd, be it a super audio cd, or whatever, to have a vinyl sound
???
maybe it's me being stupid again
but when i was in college, they were on about how digital can never sound like vinyl because it has something to do with the depth and wall surface area of the pits in the record
??

There hasn't been a lot of activity in the "let's add pops, clicks and rumble to our digital technology" area recently.

lol
that's not what i meant
you know, vinyl just sounds better than digital, and yeah, okay you can put audio through aural exciters and whatever, through a Drawmer, but you're still gonna end up with not having the same "analog warmth and depth" that sony boast
i don't think so anyways
but then again who am i, a 19 year old unemployed grunt, to say what's happening?

I have always believed that neither analogue nor digital sounds better, they just sound different.

well, yeah you've got a point there
okies, i abstain from having a preference due to inverted whale's rather excellent point
there is a time where digital sounds great, and there's a time when analog sounds great, but you can't really give one precidence over the other

"you know, vinyl just sounds better than digital"
Well if by better you mean has error that makes it sound "warmer". Some people like the error, so that's fine. It still remains that the only way to make a perfect copy of something is in digital format.
I like digital (CDs, haven't listened to SACDs yet). I like hi-fidelity.
Whatever you like is fine, as long as you pay for it.

When you think about it, most of the stuff on vinyl today comes from a digital source, so its basicly just the same thing plus some noice.
And vinyl has the same 20hz>20khz limit as cd.
