Convert WAV to ATRAC3 without SonicStage?

[grenert]

Hello.

I have a couple of Sony CD players which will play Atrac3 in addition to MP3 and CD. As an audio geek, I am curious to hear how Atrac3 sounds in comparison to WAV and MP3. In particular, I'd like to find out if I can hear a difference between 256kbps and WAV. I tried installing Sonicstage 3.4 a few weeks ago, and all it did was crash. I'd rather not try installing it again. Is there any way I can convert WAV files to Atrac3 without SS? I don't need any burning capability or file transfer function, just file conversion. I figure I can use Nero to make the actual Atrac3 CD once the files are done.

Thanks for any help.

Atrac files transfered via Nero can`t be played on any Atrac cd player(I have tried all these methods already ) .You will have to use SonicStage.

I will suggest you to install the new version of SonicStage i.e SonicStage CP 4
