aac is mp4 as used by Ipods and is not the same as ATRAC.

AAC is MP4 Audio.
There is also MP4 Video...
You can read more about it here.

considering everything sony make other than phones plays atrac (Cd players, discmans, minidisk players, hi fi seperates and the mighty PSP) I'd hardly call it dead.

yes but a few short years ago they didn't even support mp3 let alone aac, so I'd say the writing is on the wall myself. You may get a few more years of atrac but I don't expect it to last, and it will certainly never take over the market.
