PSP uses mp3 files just download mp3's by online buying or piracy... ie limewire and connect psp to your pc and transfer using card reader to your memory stick pro duo or a firewire connection(cable connector) and listen to your music

I want a software whichs runable code is just in icon form like an icon which is possile to ask a user to enter a password.

Good quality format, can be compressed/decompressed with SoundForge. Since there is no software player, I'll use another format. Simply the best reason not to buy a SonyVAIO player. Cheers!

I installed this codec and when i put in my atrac3 cd in the drive, its acting funny so how do you get rid of it.

Well guys, try the SONY Cinescore 1.0, it can convert back and forth to any format available in your system. All ATRAC codings are supported. ATRAC,ATRAC3 ATRAC3Plus ATRAC losseless.
But what use if I can't playback them in my PC. Isn't there a software player capable of plying back the *.aa3 files?

this codec was able to play with windows media player songs converted in atrac3plus . i'm still waiting for the official atrac3plus codec.

I found a solution to converting files from .oma to .wav and it comes free from Sony. It's the WAV Conversion Tool and this is a bit of blurb from the Help page:
The WAV Conversion Tool is a software application designed to convert OMA files to PCM WAV files. Specifically, this tool is intended only for OMA file that have been recorded through the MIC or LINE-IN input from a Hi-MD device and uploaded to SonicStage software.

These "self-recordings" can be converted to WAV format using the WAV Conversion Tool (hereafter referred to as ‘convertible’ files).

How do I convert ATRAC3 files recorded on minidisc to a .wav or .DAT format so I can edit on CoolPro or other editing software?? E-mail me if you have a suggestion.

I play an online game. And they started using the ATRAC3 codec for their music. the files are in .bgw format, any help in knowing how to play them outside of the game would be awesome. ^_^

I wonder what is the data ration between audio and DRM in this format. You better not look for a program for ATRAC, switch to another format and hardware instead. Sony can't be let close to information processing and storage.

Welcome to Sony-land!! Unfortunatly there is no program available to convert audio into ATRAC for Sony players, besides 'SonicStage'. Which is a realy, realy, bad program. SonicStage is also cramed full of DRM and copyprotection. If you must use SonicStage use the earlyest version that you can find! (Less DRM). Somebody please find an altarnitave!

Same as above...bought a psp and I'm trying to download music...what do I need and how do I do it?

How do I use the ATRAC3 Audio Codec to convert my CD collection for use on a VAIO player? I've installed it.. but what next? I don't actually have the Player - I'm just trying to find out whether it does what I want...move my CDs

this codec works great!!! Plays even my "locked" music, which is great since I had to do a reinstall of my winxp OS, in which I did not back up my SonicStage library in time.

I have a PSP and want to dowload music, what do I need and how do I do it. PLEASE HELP

Like "Pro" said. What is the best program to use to encode files with this codec? Cause I've only been able to use Audiograbber and I just want to convert mp3s to ATRAC3 without SonicStage to have them in my harddrive not just my player.

The quality is excellent hey how to encode the files which encode (besided sonicstage)

Very Good...!!!
