peter312 Posted May 28, 2006 Report Share Posted May 28, 2006 HiIf I were to burn an audio CD from Atrac Lossless files on my PC, would the whole lossless file be used to make the audio CD, or just the lossy part?ThanksPeter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danielbb90 Posted May 28, 2006 Report Share Posted May 28, 2006 I think the lossless part is only for the playback,on transfer and coversion it uses the lossy part...I think lossy then - Correct me if thats wrong! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avrin Posted May 31, 2006 Report Share Posted May 31, 2006 Turns out SonicStage (at least version 4.0) uses the whole file for CD burning and WAV conversion. I ripped a couple of tracks into ATRAC Advanced Lossless@64, and then tried converting them into WAVs and burning them to an Audio CD. In both cases they sound fine, and can't be distinguished from originals. Obviously, if the lossy 64 kbps part were used for conversion and burning, the sound quality would have been much worse.

Avrin Posted June 1, 2006 Report Share Posted June 1, 2006 (edited) I used tracks from the first King Crimson album, which sound really horrible when encoded at anything below 192 kbps, because of inter-channel phase shift problems. And I did check them @64 lossy (horror!).I have nothing against 64 or even 48 kbps. These are quite usable in some cases. But NOT for the first King Crimson album.
