geekery update

(Further update: Hello Slashdot. Please READ CAREFULLY. This has NOTHING to do with the SonicStage application which, to the best of my knowledge, uses ATRAC encoding/DRM. This is SOLEY concerned with the MP3FileManager application which lives on the NW-S23. Thank you for your time, energy, and bandwidth usage. Also, please do NOT post links directly to my site from this thread; I will delete them.)

(minor update/clarification: note, this is not how ATRAC files work. This is solely what happens with MP3 files that are dropped onto the Sony device with their MP3FileManager application as featured on the device itself.)

I’ve written up the file formats from the previous entry. If you’re curious, ( this is how Sony puts MP3 files on the Network Walkman )

I have no interest whatsoever in reverse-engineering the ATRAC stuff because (a) it’s likely to be far harder and (b) all my music is in MP3 format thanks to several months of ripping my CDs, correcting track information, etc. and I’m really very unlikely to through it again just to use a different encoding format.
