Sony's SoundForge 9 software (a full out sound editing/processing
program) does handle ATRAC/oma and so on both opening and saving. As
well as a long list of other formats. It's windows only, and not free.

It was personally addressed. This is a recognizable link for Global
Opinion Panels/Synovate's survey participation link, of which I've been
a online panelist for years. I do many surveys per month as a panelist
on all kinds of subjects. In fact their requests are specific as to
which one of us here they want for a particular survey. The link
contains the id of the survey and password of the panelist and will only
work once to keep any panelist from doing what folks are trying here, ie
stack the results. Participants are selected using statistical random
sampling methods.
This group is a contract survey company, Sony probably contracted a
survey with them. Not all surveys I get are obvious as to who is the
client, but some are.
I belong to several survey panels like this. If you get the chance, it's
a way to have a tiny bit of influence, so worth going through the sheer
boredom of most surveys.
