      Dex, hydrogenaudio.org's listening test would like to have a word with you...

      At 132kbps, more than double the 64kbps you use, ATRAC3 sounds worse than all the other codecs they tested. Including Ogg Vorbis, Musepack, MP3, AAC, and even Windows Media.




      ATRAC is an outdated and inferior compression format. Sony continue to hang onto it because it is Sony proprietary. It is not a major advance in encoding... and the encoder may be "free" but the technology isn't. Something like Vorbis (which is higher quality) is completely patent free, royalty free, license free, and open source.

        ok, but tell me then why does an atrac3plus @64 kbps sound so good?
        got s sony player?
        got quality headphones?
        if you try it out you will see that the difference between mp3@128 and atrac3@64 is not noticable. If you show me any other codec that encodes better @ 64k or 48 i'll believe you...

          You are aware that the RealAudio format uses the same encoding methods as Atrac3. They are basically the same just the file extension is different. You can use RealPlayer to play/encode Atac3 files. If you really need the storage space, so have to use atrac3pro, then download the liquid audio plugin for winamp.

            I downloaded that plugin but I can't get it to come up like in the pic... I think that you have to create a passport first but I can't contact their server... upon investigating their website, they no longer offer support for liquidaudio file format so I think they dropped support for the plugin too >_< Anybody have any idea on how to get this plugin to work??

              Re: Atrack 3 Plus Software Encoder

              I spent a couple of hours transferring CD track to Atrac and burning a disc. But now I would like to rearrange the tracks. Does anyone know of any way to do this without me having to rescan all of my music discs? Is there a way, perhaps, of inserting the burnt disc into my computer and rearranging the files that way? I was successfull of inserting the disc into my computer, dragging all the files onthe disc to a new folder, and then burning that folder onto a new disc with it working in the CD player.

              Thanks

                Your the dumb ass, as many of us only use atrac3 files and this would be handy to play back on the pc!

                  Hi Guys My atrac software no longer works and I need to reconvert all the atrac files(cds) to mp3. A while ago I read somewhere that dmc auxilliary input can do the job. Unfortunately I didnt save the instructions, and cant seem to find it now. Can someone plz tell me how to do it, or any other ways of doing it? Please mail me at nchantingprincess@sbcglobal.net

                          Atrac will not play in ur pc. You have to have an atrac cd player......but You are aware that the RealAudio format uses the same encoding methods as Atrac3.

                                Oops, sorry, missed this post.

                                Ok, those of you who know me a bit by now have noticed that I recommend using dMC Auxiliary Input a lot over searching all over the web for futile programs which may or may not do the job.

                                Did you just say that you cannot play ATRAC files on your pc at all, using any of the players available? Did you also say it's the same as real media but with a different extension?

                                In that case, did you try renaming the file to a name with extension .ra or .rm, see if it plays in real Player and if so decode it to mp3 using dMC? You'll of course need to have the real player installed for that and the decoding will take place in real time (i.e. it will take as long as the song length).

                                But, as I don't have any ATRAC files myself, I can but speculate on this. In fact right now I have to go back and read this whole thread and others like it and see what's been said and done, because it's one of those very tangled notions.

                                What I have glimpsed so far is that you can connect your Sony mini-disc player to your soundcard through the line-in jacks and then you can use dMC Auxiliary Input (select the line-in or aux for input source for recording in Volume Control first). For instructions on how to use dMC Auxiliary Input refer to http://forum.dbpoweramp.com/showthread.php?t=5362 .

                                I hope this helps.
