rdwhitehill Posted September 3, 2006 Report Share Posted September 3, 2006 Hi,I'll start in this forum, but I do realize that I may have to contact SonyMediaSoftware and/or RealNetworks too...For various reasons, I saved a music file using SonyMediaSoftware (formerly SonicFoundry) SoundForge (full version). I chose the RealMedia (*.rm) file type, and encoded using a template including RA at 132 Kbps. Good enough... file encoded/saved... sounds fine... all is well.I loaded it directly into Real Player 10 (most current version), and happened to look at the file (clip) properties...It listed the file type as RealAudio 8 with ATRAC3!!!Granted... the newest version of SoundForge encodes Real Audio in version 8... but I didn't expect to see the ATRAC3 name listed here as well. Remember that this is how the file properites appear in Real Player, not any Sony software playing the file.My question: Is there something going on collaboratively with Sony and RealNetworks re: the RealMedia (rm) audio file specs, or is this a specific issue regarding the Sony SoundForge encoder plugin... or is RealAudio actually now a variant of ATRAC3???I'm very curious about this... Do any of the more experienced folks on this forum know anything about this?Looking forward to finding out more! Share any useful info that you may have. Thanks!
