Is Sony's ATRACT format lossless?

[Qianglong]

I am really interested in the new Sony MP3 player with the OLED screens. The thing I must have in an MP3 players is lossless compression because of my meditative CDs that I listen to when sleeping just be encoded in lossless format in order to preserve the very minute details.

Do you guys think Sony ATRACT format is lossless?

No mp3 format is "lossless." You might want to look up that definition.
