allegate Posted December 14, 2005 Report Share Posted December 14, 2005 So, how do you go about doing this? I know I've seen it discussed here before but I can't seem to find the topics (and searching for as-is gives me nothing). I finally got 3.3 working (formatted the HDD and reinstalled it onto it's very own partition with it's own copy of windows so nothing can corrupt it) and I want to take advantage of the different bit rates that are available to me now. When I tell it to transfer the files, it defaults to 64 when I want 192. Thinking about it, I guess the problem is that the new bit rates are only available for importing cd's, not transferring tracks. Is this true? Thanks in advance.

The Low Volta Posted December 14, 2005 Report Share Posted December 14, 2005 there are only a few bitrates available for HiMD...in short: all the usual ones + 352kbps (since SS3.3) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allegate Posted December 15, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2005 So Sony gave us all these new bitrates for encoding but no way to listen to them. That makes so much sense. thanks for the answer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Low Volta Posted December 15, 2005 Report Share Posted December 15, 2005 there are other Sony DAP's (like the PSP, little Vaios, HD's and flash-based ones) some of those can use the new bitrates...but for HiMD...indeed! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dewdude Posted December 15, 2005 Report Share Posted December 15, 2005 I don't why why Sony made all those ATRAC3plus bitrates and like..doesn't allow Hi-MD to play them back..it's not like it would make the system THAT much more complicated..but the PSP does play all the bitrates of ATRAC3plus (that i know of), you can also just straight drag and drop mp3's, AAC (mp4), and WAV (yes, wave) into the MUSIC folder. If you use a homebrew app..you can playback OGG Vorbis audio.however, like i said..don't think i'm trying to go PSP vs. MD. I didn't buy the PSP as a portable music device, the memory sticks were too expensive...but..after getting a couple and playing with ATRAC3..since i always have my PSP with me...it was just like, a convience thing.Personally, i use 48kbps ATRAC3plus for my PSP's music. I can cram like, 14 albums onto a 256MB card (235MB in reality) which is slightly more than an original formatted MD. However, a MD probably costs around 2 bucks or less where as the 256MB memory stick cost me $47 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allegate Posted December 16, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 16, 2005 oh yeah, totally forgot about the PSP. I was living in a MD bubble there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
