If it weren't proprietary then I'd be sad that it was killed :( Just kidding :) Anyway, at3 and at3+ is a good format, quality and size. On my psp it sounds fine and if anything, 128kbps at3+ is clearer and sharper than 128kbps LAME (ripped from cd, so lossless). And the files were a couple of mb smaller on average. I'm still gonna use At3 for my psp whatever sony says... I don't use the connect store and my only reason for using mp3s (music prx, once known as mp3 module or irsmp3) is gone with the new release, that supports atrac3 and at3+ The quality and filesize is good for atrac3 and at3plus.

We strongly believe that the decision to embrace a more open platform will enable us to provide you with a better music enjoyment experience." Um, so explain again how Windows Media is an open platform? Will they not use DRM so that I can actually use this stuff on my Mac and iPods? “Today Sony announced its intent to move to a Windows Media Technology platform for Walkman® products in the United States, Canada and Europe.
