Long Time No See?
Hey guys,
Sorry it has been a while since the blog has been updated with some juicy news from Sony. I wanted to refresh it some as a lot of you got tired of seeing the post regarding Sony denying the sale of their chip operations, which I believe they ended up selling anyways…
Quite a few revolutionary things happened in the World of Sony, like abandoning Atrac format (at least for the most part, except Japan), introducing Walkman models with integrated Bluetooth, bringing Sony Rolly to the US (hopefully we’ll see it soon in SonyStyle stores), Blu-ray winning the HD format war and Phil Harrison leaving PS3 division. As for Atrac, are you guys keeping your libraries as is or already converted to MP3s? And for those who got the newest generation of Walkman, are you enjoying new ways of managing your music? By the way, just a reminder Sony Connect store will be closing at the end of this month, so if you have any coupons or credit left, get busy and pick up some music, and back up your existing DRMed music to a CD.
Anyways, I hope to update this blog from time to time and keep you informed on some new developments, as well as post some reviews. Thanks for sticking around and participating in the forums!
P.S. Check out the Download Section, a new PSP Demo game for Echochrome and Space Invaders Extreme
And if you have not tried Patapon Demo yet, shame on you!
I have recently bought SonyEricsson’s W890i (that is Walkman phone) is enjoying its numerous codec supports with bluetooth, and all other cell features. And yes ofcouse Walkman 3.0.
As for the music library, my computers keep then in WAV (linear PCM) but now I mostly use PlayStation3 with AAC so I can easily transfer songs to my NWZ series Walkman and W890i (Walkman Phone).
One more someone recent news. Sony has invested some good amount of money into SHARP’s LCD factory for its ensured LCD supply in addition to joint venture with Sanmsung.
Lastly, it’s good to hear from you again.
ATRAClife is still living.

Hi there!
Great to hear that the site is still alive and well and you guys are looking into moving it forward. I think I speak for everyone when I say this is a wonderful resource and community for all of us. Keep up the great work!
I was wondering if you guys need some help keeping the blog updated with the latest news in the world of ATRAC, Walkman and Sony in general. Because I am sure some of us users (me included!) would be happy to help in that area! I remember when I first started using ATRACLife, it was one of the best sites for Sony specific news and I would love to help and contribute to see a return to that.
