Sony has provided two consecutive versions of SonicStage CP in just less than a month. SonicStage CP 4.1 debuted alongside the new NW-S70x series on October 21, 2006 and the latest addition, SonicStage CP 4.2, is now available for public download.+++ New features: - Importing and playing back in HE-AAC format is available. - Format support: *.3gp - Ripping Audio CD in HE-AAC format is available. - Bit rates for HE-AAC; 96kbps/80kbps/64kbps/48kbps/40kbps - DSEE (Digital Sound Enhancement Engine) function is available. DSEE is a high-frequency completion technology developed by Sony that improves the quality of compressed audio and adds back in high frequencies that are often lost when audio is compressed. The resulting audio is closer to the original, more natural, and offers a wider sense of space.
