Well from what I understand there's been various versions of Atrac over the years, I assume the newer one better soundqual/more compression maybe? I had hear 5:1 compression on ATRAC as compared to 12:1 for mp3 (usually). -- Mark Derricutt - Software Developer - http://www.chalice.gen.nz Getting jiggy with - To stop getting this list send a message containing just the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Not with existing equipment you can't.

NO I dont, its an analog input to the soundcard on my machine, but the quality loss isn't that much to my ears (and its only bootlegged shows i'm sampling).

When I was thinking of getting a RIO, I was glad to learn that it used Smart Media cards, the same used by my digital camera, all's great, untill I learnt that the moment you put a smart media card into a RIO, it becomes unusable by a digital camera as the RIO changes its formatting. One would assume you could just reformat it with your camera, but apparantly that doesn't work. And at a cost of about NZ%160 for a 16mb card, that doesn't doesn't even store 30mins at decent quality, the cost of an MD is MUCH MUCH nicer at NZ$10.
