I'll keep my library of FLAC files. But I can see a few positive angles.
To me this is a mix between marketing and the technical facts.
Ok. We have a new 'HD' format. Which in itself is kinda funny, CDs
introduced in 1982 contains about the same ammount and quality of
information that this 'HD' format can do. Talk about progress ;)
But it's all about marketing ('HD' branding hype), earning money
(licensing), and so on. To me the value will be that this may
contribute to making more online sources of lossless content available.
Sure, they will probably price the 'HD' edition of music tracks higher
(hype + money). And I will need to convert the mp3HD to FLAC. But in
this day and age, I'm so tired of having to buy physical CDs (sometimes
whole album). Just to get a lossless edition of a single music track
that interests me.
So if mp3HD in some ways contribute to lossless music beeing more
avilable online. Bring it on :)
