Hi. It's good to find a decent forum on the new Atrac3plus bitrates Hopefully you can help with some questions I have. I've got an MZ-RH10 at present (mostly 64k Atrac3plus music) but I'm looking to get an NW-A1000 or NW-3000. Having played with both in a shop, I prefer the 1000 (the 3000 seems quite large and heavy compared to the 1000 and NW-HDx players, and the 1000 screen appears sharper due to smaller pixels). I know I could get roughly the same number of tracks I'm looking for on the NW-A1000 using A3+ 64k as I could on the NW-A3000 using MP3 192k, meaning the 1000 would offer the nicest unit (IMHO) and best size, but the 3000 would offer much better sound quality and a more flexible music file collection. To make the 1000 more appealing, I was considering using one of the new A3+ bitrates for a good size/quality compromise. The question is what MP3 bitrates are the new A3+ 96k, 128k, 160k & 192k bitrates equivelent to, given that 64k A3+ is equivelent to 128k mp3, and which are worth considering? Thanks
