 ==== intro =====
-ATRAC3+ is a hybrid subband codec like MP3. The signal is split into 16 bands, that are mostly encoded in the frequency domain. Some of the low frequency bands are split themself into smaller parts, customarily called [[ATRAC spectrum anatomy|//bandlets//]], to a total of 32 bandlets. The purpose of the bandlets is that each bandlet has its own quantizer. ATRAC3+ can have more than 2 channels - in that case more than one substream is present. This case is not described here.
+ATRAC3+ is a hybrid subband codec like MP3. The signal is split into 16 bands, each band is then divided into two parts: A superposition of sinusodial tones and the spectral residue that is encoded in the frequency domain. For the frequency-domain encoding, some of the low frequency bands are split themself into smaller parts, called //[[ATRAC spectrum anatomy|quantization units]]//, to a total of 32 quantization units. The purpose of the quantization unit is that each unit has its own quantization parameters.
