What is the ATRAC3plus?
“ATRAC3plus,” which stands for “Adaptive Transform Acoustic Coding3plus” is audio
compression technology, developed from the ATRAC3 format. Though the ATRAC3plus
format can compress music contents to about 1/20 of its original size, you can still enjoy high
quality sound.
ATRAC3plus 64 kbps: The best recording mode for ATRAC CD Walkman because this
mode satisfies the demand for high sound quality and high
compression rate.
Maximum number of tracks recordable on a CD-R/RW is approx.
360*.
ATRAC3plus 48 kbps: Use to record a large number of tracks or files.
Maximum number of tracks recordable on a CD-R/RW is approx.
490*.

What is the ATRAC3?
“ATRAC3,” which stands for “Adaptive Transform Acoustic Coding3” is audio compression
technology that satisfies the demand for high sound quality and high compression rates. The
ATRAC3 format can compress music content to about 1/10 of their original size, which
contributes to reduction of the media volume.
ATRAC3 132 kbps: High quality recording mode.
Maximum number of tracks recordable on a CD-R/RW is approx. 170*.
ATRAC3 105 kbps: Maximum number of tracks recordable on a CD-R/RW is approx. 220*.

Using the software for the first time
Before starting up the software
Check that the CD-R/RW drive is connected to your computer securely.
If you connect the drive after starting the software, your computer may not recognize the CD-R/
RW drive.
Note
The SonicStage Simple Burner software cannot be used with certain CD-R/RW drives. To prevent damaging
your data unexpectedly, you can check with the Simple Drive Checker software to see if your CD-R/RW
drive is usable for recording using the SonicStage Simple Burner software.
To check the suitability of the drive
You cannot start the SonicStage Simple Burner and the Simple Drive Checker at the same time. To use the
drive checking software, make sure to close the SonicStage Simple Burner first.
To start the Simple Drive Checker software, click the [Start] menu–[All Programs] (or [Program])–
[SonicStage Simple Burner]–[Simple Drive Checker].
Registering with the CDDB®
The Gracenote CDDB®is the Internet service for audio data recognition. A number of album
names, artist names, track names, etc. have been registered on this data base. When you connect
your computer to the Internet and use the SonicStage Simple Burner, your computer will search
the CDDB automatically when you insert an audio CD into the CD-R/RW drive. The computer
imports CD information such as album names to the hard disc and displays this information.
This is more convenient than inputting album names, track names, etc. using the keyboard.
To use the CD information on the CDDB, register with the CDDB following the instructions
that appear when you start the SonicStage Simple Burner for the first time.
Note
To use the Gracenote CDDB service, you have to register with the Gracenote CDDB. The registration is done
between the Client and the Gracenote CDDB. Sony assumes no responsibility for this matter.
