One word "Bummer".
But with rate at which the comput
I started playing with some code to convert MP3 directly to ATRAC3. All in
all, the results are terrible. While at a high level, MP3 and ATRAC3 use
similar approaches (subband audio coding), the actual implementation details
are such that the conversion is extremely poor. Why?
Both MP3 and ATRAC
