ATRACLife Blog Is Now Closed
Hello,
My name is Christopher MacManus and I am the founder of ATRACLife. Years ago when I started this blog I never dreamed that we would come this far. To think back on everything that ATRACLife has accomplished is staggering. Broke news stories about unreleased MP3 players way before anyone else. Had some of the best coverage of Sony’s audio during CES 2006. This blog truly changed Sony’s audio division forever through your feedback (yes you, the consumer); we defeated Connect Player and gave the final budge to get Sony to release MP3 players that have little restriction.
Unfortunately, attrition came in the form of phasing out ATRAC, which this blog was all about. I told you before that I would create Sony Insider, and I have. It’s not done yet (about 75% there) but we are nearly there. I apologize for closing news postings at ATRACLife (the forums will still remain however), but we will continue to cover the same content (along with everything else Sony) at the new site.
So please visit us now at Sony Insider, and thank you for being a part of an amazing community and experience. I will never forget it.







wow! thats great
new blog bookmarked
Hi!
I’m little sad about this…
But I’m looking forward to your new SonyInsider….
Are you Sony Insiders????
Well,
This is a historical moment. At least for me. Atraclife closes down…..
Damn, good memories come up. All that good’old atrac stuff. It were some good’old times back then. I remember me getting one of the first Hi-MD units in the world, MD-NH900.
This was a very good forum. Honestly. But I haven’t been heer for a while since I’m more active on Head-fi nowadays because the Sony players of these days don’t attract me that much.
I’m known here as DSP and on Head-fi as ricthaman. I’ll sign up to Sony insider ass well, just because I’d love to be a part of this great community again, in a wider view this time.
Thanks for the past years of Atraclifem and good luck with Sony Insider.
Best regards,
DSP
