== Description ==

Adaptive Transform Acoustic Coding (ATRAC) is a family of proprietary audio compression algorithms created by Sony. It was designed to meet the need for the [[MiniDisc]] format to maintain high sound quality and a 74 minute playing time, despite having considerably less storage space than an [[CD-DA|Audio CD]].

A number of improved versions of ATRAC have been released since 1992 - ATRAC3 (1999), ATRAC3plus (2002), [[ATRAC Advanced Lossless]] (2006).

Per [http://blog.washingtonpost.com/fasterforward/2007/08/sony_connect_atrac_exit_the_st.html this] Washington Post article, Sony has largely dropped support for ATRAC, although it is not clear to what extent. The [[PlayStation 3]] supports playback of ATRAC3plus and [[ATRAC Advanced Lossless]] files, and the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adaptive_Transform_Acoustic_Coding Wikipedia article] suggests that some support remains in Japan.
