gswarbrick Posted June 7, 2007 Report Share Posted June 7, 2007 Us Europeans recently got a firmware upgrade for the PS3 which allows it to access DLNA media servers. That's great. And the PS3 will already play ATRAC files - it does a great job when I plug my USB Walkman in to one of the USB slots. But I can't find a DLNA media server that will serve my collection of (SonicStage organised) ATRAC files to it. Any suggestions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pata2001 Posted June 8, 2007 Report Share Posted June 8, 2007 Although I haven't tried this functionality on my PS3, Windows Vista is known to work out of the box. I heard it also works with PCs with XP and Macs, but need some tweaking. Don't know if it can actually accept streaming Atrac though.

WMP will play ATRAC files using the Sony codec if SonicStage is present on the same machine - it just can't see them. So one, clunky, option is to copy all my ATRAC files to another folder and rename them all .mp3, which would allow WMP to add them to its library. Another is to stick them all on a USB drive and copy them across to the PS3, but that's going to have DRM issues. I tried to us HIMDRenderer to convert them to MP3 files (also clunky, given that the PS3 has native ATRAC support.What I really want is for SonicStage to act as a DLNA server, so they can play natively. But expecting two bits of Sony to work together is just hopelessly unrealistic, I guess... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
