Definition
What does ATRAC mean?
- ATRAC
- Adaptive Transform Acoustic Coding (ATRAC) is a family of proprietary audio compression algorithms developed by Sony. MiniDisc was the first commercial product to incorporate ATRAC in 1992. ATRAC allowed a relatively small disc like MiniDisc to have the same running time as CD while storing audio information with minimal loss in perceptible quality. Improvements to the codec in the form of ATRAC3, ATRAC3plus, and ATRAC Advanced Lossless followed in 1999, 2002, and 2006 respectively.Files in ATRAC3 format originally have the .aa3 extension, however in most cases the files would be stored in an OpenMG Audio container using the extension .oma. Initially files that were encrypted with OpenMG had the .omg extension, before it was replaced by .oma starting in SonicStage v2.1. Encryption is no longer compulsory as of v3.2. Other MiniDisc manufacturers such as Sharp and Panasonic also implemented their own versions of the ATRAC codec.
