[QUOTE="mnaines, post: 2062985, member: 569980"] Can you test the ATRAC3plus format through SonicStage digital music manager and post the test results? I run ATRAC3plus and ATRAC Advanced Lossless, so I am interested in seeing how they stack up to MP3, WMA, and the original source quality. ATRAC3plus and ATRAC Advanced Lossless are both Sony's proprietary formats, and are, from what I understand, supposed to be superior to both MP3 and WMA. According to Sony, ATRAC3plus is to MP3s what CDs were to tapes, so I want to see if that is true. Test the ATRAC Advanced Lossless and ATRAC3plus all the way down to 63.475kbps, which Sony says is the smallest bitrate ATRAC3plus can compress a CD to. The difference between ATRAC Advanced Lossless and WMA Mathematically lossless is ATRAC Advanced Lossless can run as low as 64kbps, while WMA Mathematically Lossless is a minimum of 800kbps. ATRAC Advanced Lossless @ 64kbps makes a file size of 30MB for a 4-minute song, while ATRAC3plus @ 64kbps creates a file size of 1.9MB for a 4-minute song. I have good ears, and it is almost impossible for me to tell the difference between 64kbps ATRAC3plus and the original source CD. [/QUOTE]
