I think the point is that for any given available bandwidth, an mp3pro
stream will sound better than a regular mp3 one. So it would be nice if
the SB3 supported mp3pro.
That's exactly my point. And that many Live365 stations use it, so it
might be useful to others, too.
Anyway, I'm not
The quickest way to add support for MP3Pro would be if one of the open
source players supported it to do transcoding but so far AFAIK none do
(e.g. Mplayer, VLC).
Besides Winamp - what other players support MP3pro ?

Too bad.
It just seems to me that Mp3Pro is a major factor at Live365, and
Live365 is a major factor in internet radio, which is a major intended
use of SB.

I guess we have the whole weird way intellectual property law has
evolved to thank this kind of situation. Sort of makes

Any mp3 player can play mp3PRO files but they will be played at a sample
rate that is half of the sample rate they are intended to be played at
Doesn't this mean they should be playable anyway? just at reduced
quality

Yes, I never intended to suggest that I couldn't hear the MP3Pro
streams usning by SB3. Just wishing for all the fidelity I can get.
For example, if MP3Pro is twice as efficient as MP3 (I think this is
the claim), then

Two problems with that. 1) you would need *massive* amounts of
processing power and bandwidth as at the moment SN only sends control
and display information, not the actual stream, that comes
Thank you for your rapid response.
I should have figured that proprietariness was at least involved, if
not the main reason.
I was motivated by the fact that I find myself listening to internet
radio (via Squeezenetwork) much more than I anticipated I might. I

Is there an open-source implementation of an mp3pro decoder? Being
closed, mp3pro is likely already dying a quick death when compared to
something like Ogg.
