ATRAC3...
BWWWHAHAHAHAH!!!
It's weak. iPod wanna be, I even told that to the Sony rep in my store. Let's see how many Sony has sold by this time next year. I'm guessing less that 200,000 units.

No way. Not gonna happen. As soon as iPods were available for PC, they shot through the roof and will keep shooting. It's all about simplicity bro.

If it was like $100 cheaper maybe.

It's not onlt ATRAC is MP3 also.
And the difference in clarity is huge.No matter what bitrate the MP3 is the ATRAC has clearer highs and more bass.
And batteries don't have 18 life span with such a high replacement cost.

just not feelin' the sony thing...
i like how easy the iPod is to use, plus, my blue iPod mini looks way better.
why are they still pushing ATRAC3? haven't they realized that no one uses their crappy format?

I'll admit, as an audio cat, ATRAC are nice, but they are not that well supported and the chances of them taking over for .mp3's. That lunacy. You aren't going to get quality out of converting all these mp3's around into ATRAC. You'll actually lose quality. I guess getting new CDs and converting might have some value.

Yeah, I don't think they'll outsell the iPod, but it's defiantly a better unit.
Apple has pored all their $$ into advertising, whereas Sony has put it into technology.
Other than this unit & a Playstation I wouldn't buy Sony.

back to the drawingboard Sony

I like sony products but sony are also a huge record company, and they try and make it hard as possible to copy music. I stopped using MD's after they introduced that dumb encrition licence software, fuckers
