hi just reading some1 mentioning about atrac and atrac+, i was told a while ago that atrac+ at 64kps is the same as mp3 at 128, is this true? also why do people like apple advertise that their ipod can hold X amount of songs at near "cd quality" which usually means 128kps when a cd is 1411 kps (i think) ? im no mathematican but surley theres a big difference between a song encoded at 1411 than one at 128.....

Yeah I like Atrac3 and I know Kee-Lo loves it too :tongue:

Whats nice is that ATRAC gives superb audio reproduction over MP3's but it isn't as portable (but then a Network Audio player helps!)

Yes I agree, but as I have my lovely NW-HD1 Atrac is the best choice for me:smileygrin:
