HAdaptive TRansform Acoustic Coding [ATRAC]

ATRAC (Adaptive TRansform Acoustic Coding) is a new technol- ogy that is designed to eliminate the information in sounds which you can not hear and to compress the remaining sound data so that the recording uses about 1/5 of the original sound informa- tion.
