Anyone notice that converting between formats seems that have got a lot fater with SS4.0?

Either that or my CPU has got quicker!!

Anyhow, all my music is ripped as WAVs and then I convert for transfer to HiMD and HDD players. Atrac3 132 KPS is blisteringly quick with the new version and 192Kps is def faster than before. It could mean of course that there is new algorithm particularly for the older ATRAC, which has prioritised speed v quality?

Any comments anyone?

no option for fast encoding.

The speed increase I have noticed is when you convert a WAV file to ATRAC3 132kps within My Library (not during CD ripping). I was transcoding a number of albums (originally ripped as WAVs) last night some at 132kps (A3) and others at 192kps (A3+) and the 132kps conversion is much faster than conversion to 192kps and much faster than I remember in previous SS versions.

I can't comment when you convert from other formats e.g. MP3/AAC
