Title: MP3Pro Support
Post by: KirkS on May 08, 2002, 09:41:03 pm

Will there be support in v8 for MP3Pro files either in the application or via plug-in?

KirkS,

You can use winamp mp3pro plug-in with Media Jukebox.

Encoding, just click on the link to see why we are not going to implement it for a while
http://mp3licensing.com/royalty/index.html

To make it simple we will have to add at least $15 to the price of Media Jukebox to include MP3Pro encoder.

Would any of you pay that price just for encoder/decoder?

Regards,
Nikolay

I will pay $15 more for a new good format.Kind of Ape 4 times smaller with a only 20% quality loss

BUT NOT A CENT for such a junk as mp3pro who is much much much worse than Windows format

To JimH
It is the kind of plug you may have to offer to people,against money of cause

I had a look at the link and saw the prices.If i have millions$ i would fund a team to put out org vorbis players.With hard drive or  dicmans

Hi

I agree wholeheartedly with Zevele.

Development on this encoder probably started 4 years ago, when the standard hard drive was 3Gb and size was everything. Now we have humungous hard drives, and quality not space is the issue. Besides, I reckon it will take them at least ten years more to get it sound better than two baked bean cans connected by a piece of string.
