MP3 it's not free anymore

[spiffydinosaur]

I was looking at www.qnxzone.com and found this news tid-bit. Seems Thompson media is going to start charging for all things related to MP3. They own the patents.

In come the open source heroes www.vorbis.com

This is what open source is all about!

I thought this was a pretty good response. to the news:  open letter from Ogg

Ogg may not be the best, but, when cheap is your middle name ( me ) free is better. Anyway I have lost so much hearing it really dosen't matter. To all Please use hearing protection! Toneitus sucks. That must be why GOD made crickets they block out the ringing.

I hope that more programming languages start supporting this format. Say for example say Blitz. Then again maybe they do I haven't gotten my stuff yet.  :-D

Stung once again. Trust can get me in trouble. But I would still rather trust than not. helps me learn who to trust. Even if it makes me look stupid.

Life is good! :-D
