I guess there should be more people using it once they release 1.0. It's still got the beta test stigma attached to it and not many people as you quite rightly say want to commit to using it yet without wider support.

I've email the CEO and will see how it goes. Hopefully it's not going to be a 5 figure sum! If it is going to have any realistic chance of appearing on the empeg then it's going to have to be a couple of hundred at the most. Otherwise somebody will have to sit down and rewrite the decoder themselves.

Who wants to try and create an ATRAC decoder without Sony sueing them to death? Does anybody use ATRAC files actually? I found an ATRAC plugin for winamp a few years back but never found anything that used it apart from some sample files.
