maguro Posted October 7, 2005 Report Share Posted October 7, 2005 Hello,Is there anyway to transfer mp3 files with SonicStage 3.2 in 96kb Atrac3+ coversion? In the settings there is no option for 96kbs. So I converted files without transfering and tried to transfer with "as is" option. Still the program would transfer the mp3 file instead the converted file. Does anybody know any workaround to this?Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard Posted October 7, 2005 Report Share Posted October 7, 2005 (edited) Atrac 3 Plus at 96K is not yet comaptible with any of the Hi-MD units. If you have a Hi-MD unit that natively plays MP3 it will transfer the MP3 file if both MP3 and Atrac versions exist. To force it to transfer the Atrac file you have to mnaully delete the MP3 file (or move) it via the track properties in Sonic Stage. It sounds like your play can play MP3's if SS transfers the MP3 file to the player, if so it's usually best to leave the track in it's original format. If you really must transcode then you must do so to Atrac3/+ at either 48/64/66/105/132/256 kbps. Edited October 7, 2005 by richyhu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maguro Posted October 7, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 7, 2005 Thanks for this information,Im using MZ-RH10. 128kbps mp3 takes too much space regarding atrac so i decided to convert them to atrac3plus and lower bitrate but then in regard of what you say the only option looks to be 64kbps. Or I have to use atrac3 which I think can not compress as well as atrac3plus... I don't really understand why the players are limited to these bitrates only...

You could convert to Atrac3 105 or Atrac3+ 64 yes. The reason bitrates 96, 192, 320 etc.. for Atrac3+ are not supported is because these bitrates were developed after the introduction of 2nd generation Hi-Md. If / When the 3rd gen Hi-MD appears they will likely support these bitrates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
