mjp_ Posted September 21, 2007 Report Share Posted September 21, 2007 My Hi-MD unit does play MP3s but I was wondering if it was possible to put both ATRAC songs & MP3's on the same disc. Does the disc play normally or would it have trouble going from one format to another on the same disc? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carlesraf Posted September 21, 2007 Report Share Posted September 21, 2007 YEs, it's possible to mix Mp3 and atrac files on the same Hi-MD disc the uinit change and recognize the format automaticaly.(Mp3 files must be exported from Sonicstage) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it also possible to import DRM free AAC files via Sonic Stage and play them on the same disc? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Posted September 22, 2007 Report Share Posted September 22, 2007 Thanks for that information. Is it also possible to import DRM free AAC files via Sonic Stage and play them on the same disc?DRM free AAC files are supported in the latest version of SS but they will have to be converted to Atrac / WAV to be transferred to Hi-MD.

mjp_ Posted September 22, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 22, 2007 (edited) DRM free AAC files are supported in the latest version of SS but they will have to be converted to Atrac / WAV to be transferred to Hi-MD.Ok thanks for that. I was going to buy a track off Itunes but rather than try converting it afterwards, I've decided to buy the MP3 version off 7digital (320kps) so it will play straight way on the Hi-MD. Anyway, the bit-rate for the MP3 appears to be more than the equivalent AAC version(about 256 kbps).

Not that the difference between 320kbps mp3 and 256kbps AAC is going to be apparent to most people, on most equipment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
