They've been updating ATRAC since its inception, so what makes you say MP3 is superior? ATRAC versions 1.0 to 3.0 were no doubt inferior to a 256k MP3 but the latest versions should easily match it (292k bitrate). I can't hear a difference between ATRAC 4.0 and a CD, but I notice a slight "dryness" with 256k MP3s through my digital soundcard. I'm not sure if that depends on the player though (Winamp). I'm waiting for Sony's next version above ATRAC 4.5 before I get a new MD deck, but I don't expect to notice better sound.
