Ahh, the mp3 being dead is a misnomer. Sure, the company that owns it
isn't offering anymore licenses, but this is because their patents on
the format is expiring. This means it's no longer necessary to buy a
license, to be able to create and distribute mp3 formatted files.
I figured this
Yep subject line says everything, the format is dead and no new licences
will be issued to continue supporting or developing the format.
MP3 has had a truly remarkable run when you think about it, almost 20
years and the format has ben at the heart of changing the way we listen
to music.
