I just discovered the atrac format, and I want to know all about. I use the sonic stage software and is great. good compresion and good sound. But I have some quetions: 1.- I tried to record an atrac cd, but the wait time was so long. is this normal? 2.- what is the diference between atrac and atrac3 plus? 3.- there is a way to listen atrac files in windows media player, winamp or real player? Thanks
