These trade-offs are entirely logical on systems, where memory is often at a premium compared to multiplier performance. This is reflected in the design of the ATRAC codecs, which tend to emphasize processing smaller numbers of samples at a time to save memory at the cost of compression efficiency and additional multiplies.

This is in contrast to other codecs developed on computers with no regard for the constraints of portable hardware. Performance According to ATRAC engineers, ATRAC algorithms were developed in close cooperation with development engineers within Sony in order to deliver on a tangible product that could encode at high speeds and with minimal power consumption. NOTE: It may not be possible to save tracks purchased from some music services in WAV format. ATRAC3plus replaces patterns in the digital signal just like ATRAC3, but uses more rules for substitution to enable it. Uses more rules to replace digital patterns. For purposes of comparison, CDs are encoded at 1411.2 kbit/s, and lossless encoders can encode most CDs below 1000 kbit/s, with significant bitrate reduction for easier-to-encode content such as voice. Years later ATRAC was improved and is generally considered better than earlier versions at similar bitrates. General bitrate quality ATRAC's original 292 kbit/s bitrate, as used on the original MiniDiscs, was designed to be close to CD quality acoustically.However, it is being continued in Japan and various other countries. Sony has all but dropped the ATRAC related codecs in the USA and Europe and in their SonicStage powered 'Connect' Music Service (Sony's equivalent of iTunes) on 31 March 2008. Other MiniDisc manufacturers such as and also implemented their own versions of the ATRAC codec. Improvements to the codec in the form of ATRAC3, ATRAC3plus, and ATRAC Advanced Lossless followed in 1999, 2002, and 2006 respectively.

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. Was the first commercial product to incorporate ATRAC in 1992. Adaptive Transform Acoustic 3.at9 Developed by Type of format Adaptive Transform Acoustic Coding ( ATRAC) is a family of proprietary developed.
