f1rick Posted December 21, 2007 Report Share Posted December 21, 2007 Having a browse through the Media Manager folder I found it contained an atrac plugin. Not surprising as the PSP version supports atrac and the frontpage of atraclife has a link to the sony media codec. Upon adding the folder containing my atrac music into MM I still didn't get anywhere, but by changing the *.oma extension to *.aa3 MM will play, transcode and copy those files to mp4 files on my NWZ818 :-). Including most meta-data, seems to lose the year though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rosjos Posted December 21, 2007 Report Share Posted December 21, 2007 Very interesting - are you able to tell if these files play gapless, or does a gap get created in the transfer/copy step? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
f1rick Posted December 21, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 21, 2007 MM wont play ATRAC gaplessly and neither are the transcoded mp4 files played on the walkman gapless. I don't think the PSP will play ATRAC gapless either? Discovered the year metadata is kept on transcoding except in a specific case when the day and month has been selected in sonicstage. Makes using both ATRAC walkmans and MTP walkmans together a little easier :-). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rosjos Posted December 22, 2007 Report Share Posted December 22, 2007 (edited) Thanks F1rick - at least this highlights an ability to transfer ATRAC to the new NWZ's without a total conversion of files. I have over 75gb of ATRAC files, and was dreading the day when my current ATRAC compatible Walkmans bite the dust.
