Where is the best site to find a discography of which SACD cd's have been released as surround? I know we used to have a listing on this site, but I can no longer find it.
I'm finding on some of the internet music sites that they don't make it very clear whether they are stereo only or whether they have a 5.1 mix.
Since I have just recently purchased a universal player capable of playing sacd surround discs I am interested in picking up a few titles.

I have a list of all Surround Sound SACDs released - and coming soon - over at http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/bmoura/msacdnow.htm
You'll find over 530 Surround Sound SACDs listed on that page and the pages linked to it.

For all SACDs released to date, I'd suggest Stephen Best's web site at http://www.sacdinfo.com/

Great! That's just what I'm looking for. Now a couple more questions from someone new to SACD; When the Type is described as Single, I'm assuming it is SACD-only playback. Won't play on a regular CD player?
And what is meant by "Single Inventory?"

Right. A "Single Layer SACD" means it has the SACD layer on the disc but omits the CD Audio layer for use on non-SACD players.

"Single Inventory" means there is no separate CD Audio edition of that album release. The SACD serves as both the SACD and CD edition for buyers.
