How-to Overcome Ss's Poor Encoding Qualities

[Philgood]

Hi there,

Has anybody heard/used of that little encoder app and knows if it makes better ATRAC3Plus encodings then SONY's SonicStage. I'm aware of the similarity of the companies name with the SONY product so i'm asking me if it uses the same program code ?

It says it works with ATRAC3PLUS at 4 compression choices from 48 to 256.

So does this mean there's an extra choice inbetween 64 and 256?

Edit: yes indeed:

Data rates: 48, 64, 132 & 256 bps

So that's 132 Atrac3plus?

Read that more carefully. It's actually 132kbps ATRAC3.

there isn't a standard 132 for 3plus

so unless it's a non-standard [& perhaps useless to md users] 3plus it's just lazily quoted.

Well it would ceratainly seem likely it's ATRAC3, but I can't find anything on that page that says it is. Most likely it is and they haven't said it.

you're right. in the more detailed PDF manual you can read:

Formats supported include stereo ATRAC3 at a data rate of 132kbps, and stereo ATRAC-X encoding

at data rates of 48kbps, 64kbps, and 256kbps.

Very sneaky of them, very sneaky.
