I think a lot of us would like the ability to move ATRAC around like any other computer file (that we cannot is MD's tragedy). I doubt that you will have any luck reading ATRAC data with the MD Discam since, if it's anything like the Sony MDH-10 Data drive, the camera's firmware will implement a data firewall whenever it encounters an Audio MD.
