Dinko Posted May 25, 2005 Report Share Posted May 25, 2005 So the PS3 has 6 USB holes and different audio outputs.Could it theoretically be equiped with software to read atrac & mp3 off a Hi-MD portable unit and output that through its (analog) audio outputs?According to some news stories, it would be possible to plug portable mp3 players in the Xbox 360's USB connections then stream that out through the audio outputs.

MDGB2 Posted May 26, 2005 Report Share Posted May 26, 2005 (edited) I'd see that as more of a 'toy' than a serious Hi-Fi deck. If you plugged it into an audio out on a PS(2/3 whatever) it would be the same as connecting it to an amp via a RCA to 3.5mm lead (probably with less quality, it is a games console afterall). Not much control over whats happening if the unit is out of arms reach.Unless they put a scrolling display on the front and a nice big remote control (one button for each letter please!)

Breepee2 Posted May 26, 2005 Report Share Posted May 26, 2005 If you use PS3's digital out there would be perfect audioquality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's more like, when hell freezes over, but with the greenhouse effect we're now experiencing, who knows...? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
