I have literally tried everything. I used goldwave, but the AT3 option does not appear, I tried SonicStage, but again nothing. Does anyone have a nice clean easy to use tutorial? Trying to add some music to one of my homebrew programs.

Install the ATRAC3 codec Ive included first. You will then need to download Sonys SonicStage...its free just search for 'SonicStage'on Google...you'll find hundreds of results. I couldnt include it as its an online installer.

Once you have the codec and SonicShare installed just run HiMdRenderer and you can choose to convert .AT3 files into .WAV or .MP3
I presume you can do it the other way round too, although Ive never tried it !

found this...

I've said it 400 times, GOLDWAVE does not work for me. I have already tried that tutorial.

**afiser** · 07-28-2007, 04:34 PM

**afiser** · 07-28-2007, 04:40 PM

**Johnny McKinney** · 07-28-2007, 04:42 PM

I just copied all of the files from the zip into the GoldWave directory, problemo solved.

**Nero** · 07-28-2007, 04:42 PM

lol yay

**Proxin** · 07-28-2007, 06:48 PM

Does it work converting from .at3 as well?

**Dekabreak** · 07-28-2007, 07:00 PM

copy the files in the rar/zip of the codec to the goldwave directory

I thought it wasn't solved. *Edited*

Stop being smart.

Yes. But I don't see why you would, as it's about as compressed as it will be. Any more converting and you'll lost whatever quality is left.

**Proxin** · 07-28-2007, 10:34 PM

My apologies, I believe I worded it wrong... I meant to ask if it worked to convert .at3 to .mp3 (decompress them)

doesn't really decompress seeing how mp3 is also a compressed format.

Technically it does.
.at3 is just more compressed than .mp3.

But either way, Windows Media Player does not play .at3.

No. Technically, it doesn't. Converting to at3, then to mp3 would compress it twice. The size may be larger, perhaps, but the quality would act as if you crunched it twice, which you did.

**Proxin** · 07-29-2007, 11:01 AM

I see it as adding a positive to a negative; -2 (.at3 compression) is more compressed than -1 (.mp3 compression). So when you make it a .mp3 it still decompresses, albeit not fully.

My goal isn't to compress or decompress though, I just need a format where I can play it easily to preview it.

**shortboy** · 07-29-2007, 06:49 PM

Use goldwave and make sure you save the wav using ATRAC3 66KB, then use this program to convert the .wav to at3.

IT WILL WORK!! Don't bother using SonicStage because that's utter crap.

Sorry to drag up this old thread, aint been here for awhile, just seen it and noticed the link, links to the download page and not the download. Thankyou, been having problems with people just leeching the downloads from pspuae.com.
