PS3 Firmware Update v1.11 Enables ATRAC Playback

An update to the PS3™ system software was released on November 28, 2006. If you update your PS3™ system, the system software will be version 1.11. Two particular items of interest were included much to the delight of the staff. It looks like the PS3 has become the new high-fidelity ATRAC player of choice..anyone know if all subcodecs within the codec work?
Settings

[Enable ATRAC] has been added as a feature under
(Music Settings).

This setting allows use of ATRAC format music files under

Audio CD Output Frequency

Well, it’s not a novelty! All of this was already available in 1.10…
The only real addition in 1.11 is online settings drectly available in the online column.
