Convert ATRAC3 to WAV or MP3
How can I convert an ATRAC3 file to another format such as MP3 or WAV? I have a Sony Portable MiniDisc Recorder (MZ-N707) that is used to record live voice via external microphone. I just need to convert it to something that can be manipulated. Please help me.
sorry about the spelllling it's a bit early here!

Recording the recording is not an option due to the nature of the content. This is for the recording of vocals for music which will later be manipulated using PROTOOLS mixing equipment. Brother in-law is a musician...

Is it possible to simply record the audio in a different format?

hmm...
Orestis' post lead me to re-visit the idea of finding these apps on the net, I had tried months ago without any luck. This round I found Protools, Cubase, Wavelab and Cakewalk...lucky me...
While this didnt really answer the question, it was a catalyst to something else that made me happy.
Before I made my original post on this site, everything I had seen and read indicated that the simple file conversion was impossible. I just figured I would throw it out there any way. Masqueraid spoke for this community by confirming that this was the case.
Thanks guys,

There are lots of tips on best approach using the direct record method but effectively Sony have tied up the format in copyright legislation & if anyone has cracked it they are probably keeping their heads down!
