HDCD used to have a website that you could look over various discs of artists that had this coding. Anyone have an idea why it's no longer in use? I tried the website just to see, again, what they had and nothing comes up. I went to Microsofts website but it doesn't list any artists.

I think it is going away because people don't care as much about sound quality as they used to. Not us polkies, but the general public, people love their ipods and mp3s and don't have time to sit around listening to 2-channel stereo.
As for finding the discs, I have never found a section for them in a store, but alot of discs have the encoding, and you just don't know it. I have 3 or 4 that I found out after I learned about HDCD that have the encoding, it is not something that is really advertised. There used to be a list at hdcd.com, but it doesnt seem to be working anymore.
