Syrius Posted November 1, 2005 Report Share Posted November 1, 2005 (edited) So we got SP, LP, LP 4, HI-SP and Hi-LP. The other bitrates are used for HDD walkmans. What names do you propose for the 352 bitrate, since we can use that for our Hi-MD? Vote for the ones you see here, or present your own idea, and I'll try and add them to the list.Get creative.

Qwakrz Posted November 1, 2005 Report Share Posted November 1, 2005 How about SP352 or +352I can see it getting shortened to one or the other on the forums very soon anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damage Posted November 2, 2005 Report Share Posted November 2, 2005 (edited) Can I nominate:HiSP352?Just asking is all...Edit: I call the 48kbps HiLP48 (you can see my past posts for example of this, I'm too tired to quote myself), so that's where it comes from.Just to keep the theme of HiLP/SP is all.

eriktous Posted November 2, 2005 Report Share Posted November 2, 2005 (edited) I agree with you that Atrac3plus 352 doesn't sound great, but the other proposed names are even less appealing to me and I can't think of anything better myself.Edit: I was typing my message while Damage posted, but I have to say that I like his suggestion.

WaywardTraveller Posted November 2, 2005 Report Share Posted November 2, 2005 If we must have a special name for this mode, how about just ATRAC-352?Of courfse, every time we make special names for compression modes there will be scores of posts with nothing but "What is Super-SP?" or "I can't find Hi-Hi-SP in the manual anywhere!" and other such things... peaceWaywardTraveller Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Low Volta Posted November 2, 2005 Report Share Posted November 2, 2005 (edited) Hi'RSPwell, 256kbps is HiSP, so 352kbps is Hi'RSP (read as Higher-SP)not? well indeed not, the whole Sony let's name every bitrate differently than the others and work with three versions of the codec simultaniously could be one reason ppl think atrac sound worse than MP3 (just kidding... no need to start discussing this all over again )... what is true is that my granny knows that a 92kbps MP3 sounds worse than a 320kbps MP3 (even though she can't handle VBR ) but throw HiLP, LP, SP, HiSP etc. at here and mention that they still come in different bitrates and she's glad she still uses a grammophone all of a sudden...so my idea: throw out all 'names' and let's use A[bitrate] for example: A265 or A352 or A48 (for ppl who do not care about SQ )I hope I made my point, but please do not take this to seriously, 'cause I really enjoy listening to that latest acquisition, even if it is called"you-know-that-one-bitrate-that-came-with-SS3.3-and-which-mysteriously-is-able-to-play-on-my-1st-gen-NH900-even-though-the-older-new-ones-don't-and-MP3-never-will" from now on Edited November 2, 2005 by The Low Volta Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Low Volta Posted November 2, 2005 Report Share Posted November 2, 2005 I would ditch the 3 or 3+ part, as there are no overlapping bitrates Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KJ_Palmer Posted November 2, 2005 Report Share Posted November 2, 2005 How about simply: 352k. It's as short as (most) other offerings and easy enough to remember. Anyway, that's how I labelled my first 352k disc and recordings, so I'm (probably) not going to change now... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skcmok Posted November 2, 2005 Report Share Posted November 2, 2005 Hi-SP 352? Or is that what the "SP 352" option in the poll is meant to represent? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
migt Posted November 2, 2005 Report Share Posted November 2, 2005 (edited) How about Hi-SP+? But, why do we really need a name? I mean, we don't have one for 48k ATRAC+...

tommypeters Posted November 2, 2005 Report Share Posted November 2, 2005 Immigration-SP You'll understand if you know what an I-352 is... Instead of answering in PM I'll answer here: I-352 is the U.S. "Immigration Form", you need to fill it in if you want to move there. The music is also immigrating to the Hi-MD... A tad long name, though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deanage Posted November 3, 2005 Report Share Posted November 3, 2005 (edited) How about "Sony should stop picking numbers at random for compression ratios and make it 360 because 360 is easier to remember". Then again, doing that people would probably think 360 - XBOX 360, something Sony understandably wants to avoid.

lamewing Posted November 5, 2005 Report Share Posted November 5, 2005 I like Ultra SP.I SO agree with you. Just like Apple has the iPod and Sony has the MD-4878385738 version 3.294VDR models... I would love for words or some thing simple...Loved SP, Mono. Even LP2, LP4 was okay...but now ATRACplus 352 is going too far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard Posted November 5, 2005 Report Share Posted November 5, 2005 I would vote for Hi-SP 352 or HI-EP for "extra"play I think Hi-EP would (wrongly) give the impression you get more playing time.

The reason I include the bitrate was because I just think it makes more sense when you are discussing different encodings that you include the bit rate.
