Can I record ATRAC files to a CD for storage

[Kirk_drummer]

Hello all,

This is my first post and I did try and find the answer out there on the FAQ site.

Can I record ATRAC files to a CD for storage and load them to my player straight from the CD? Or import them from the CD?

What I am trying to do is to just have my collection of songs on a CD to load up when ever I want.

Does the format the portable CD players match the minidisc

If you're using SonicStage you can write ATRAC3 / ATRAC3+ CDs, yes. They are data CDs in the same way that MP3-CDs are.

I'm not sure what happens to the DRM info when you do this, though, as I haven't tested it myself. Hopefully it's possible to re-import the tracks from CD at a later date and still be able to write them to MD without restrictions being imposed. I'm assuming that as long as the same computer [correction - same install of SS] is used, this should be possible.

sounds good... but i'm afraid that when you delete the tracks all the drm info on the hd is lost and you can't re-import them (though i haven't tried this with ss but made some similar experiences with openmg jukebox 1.0)

I have no experience with OpenMG jukebox, nor with most features of NetMD as opposed to HiMD which I am now using.

SonicStage might work differently though. We need an expert on the differences, here, which I'm not.

Kurisu? Anyone?
