> Atrac Compatible?
Bookmark topic
On behalf of my dad could someone/s tell me which Sony Ericsson phones imparticular can play atrac music files, if at all? He is particularly interested in the W950, but it is important for him to have this atrac compatibility.
Thanks

Yes, it's Sony's own audio format used with the majority of their Walkman products. I just wondered if their Walkman phones had that ability too. Sorry if this is a question that has been asked so many times before...
I noticed some similar topics through searching, but with some new Walkman phones I hoped that there may have been an improvement on that.

Sadly, no
or
phone has support for it at the moment, not sure if the W880 can play ATRAC. Its a shame considering that a
cant play Sony's own audio format.

Here's an extract from
Wikipedia:
"Sony only push ATRAC compatibility in Sony-Ericsson Walkman series phones in Japanese market only. For most other markets, ATRAC is not supported (e.g. (W800i, W700i, W550i, W600i and so on). It would only make sense, given the prospect of longer battery life which is necessary in multimedia phones."

A 'confusing shame' I say!
And to think the inability to play atrac files has put my dad off buying a new Sony Ericsson phone now. He has all of his music files in atrac at the moment because he uses Walkman music players, but due to his in car bluetooth and whatnot he wanted a Sony phone that would do the same and listen to his music via bluetooth. He wanted atrac because he has a hell of a lot of music and what he could not fit as mp3 on a 30GB player he fit all plus even more as atrac on a 20GB Walkman; better quality, lower file size.
