I was just reading about this. Apparently they want AAC to be the new standard.
I dunno. I don't see it happening tbh (for downloading music).
Most everyone streams music as opposed to downloading it. Most streaming sites already use AAC or something like it, but in terms of downloading songs to a player - MP3 is kinda like the redbull or Kleenex of digital music. It'll be hard to break that kinda out-the-gate branding.
I've only ever downloaded mp3s, but def want to give aac's a try.

Just don't convert from MP3 to AAC, as they're both lossy formats, and you would go from lossy format to another lossy format, meaning that the sound quality would be awful. With the MP3 patents expired, that means that a software developer can implement native MP3 decoding or encoding, without having to get a license from Franhoufer. Also, Linux distributions now have out-of-the-box support for MP3, without downloading any additional codecs. On a side note, all of AC-3/Dolby Digital's patents have expired. |

However, most articles interpreted Fraunhofer's press release as if the MP3 format is "dead"; it's true that MP3 has been surpassed by better audio codecs, but MP3 will still be here for the foreseeable future, like JPG pictures.

I mean people still use BMP's for things... not many but you do still see the occasional one. |
