srplsp Posted February 3, 2005 Report Share Posted February 3, 2005 I am new to the forum but i am using netmd user for 3 years.have mz505and have new himd 600 model.need help about file size? why?cd > 256k atrac3plus >11.21 mbcd > 256k mp3 >11.29 mbhow come pretty much same file size from same track ripping from cd.so the sound quality od 256k atrac3plus and mp3 same? or sony hiding somethingabout atrac3plus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobS Posted February 3, 2005 Report Share Posted February 3, 2005 You should expect nearly the same file size. Both have a data rate of 256K bps (bits per second). The same running time of audio should yield the same file size. Small differences would have to do with header info, ID tags etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The file size just reflects the bit-rate used for encoding (as the other replies pointed out), not how high the quality is going to be. Not all encoders are equal/same at the same bit rate.

xispe Posted February 5, 2005 Report Share Posted February 5, 2005 I don't know, maybe the file header is smaller in atrac3plus ... ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
