Re: MP3 to become a thing of the past.
MP3 won't be going anywhere, I'm sorry to say. The patents on the technology have expired (this is a *good* thing), but that's about it. what this *actually* means is that more open source software can start to actually make use of MP3 encoders without having to worry about running into issues with licensing and royalties.
For the record, Fraunhofer (the folks who owned the patents on MP3) are recommending people switch from that to the AAC file format. Which, also for the record, Fraunhofer still has outstanding patents on. Just puttin' that out there.
