Hi. I was comparering mp4 with mp3 lately and I think it is the next biggest threat to the music industry.

Any thoughts?

Can't see it myself.  Both the hardware and the software industries have far too much invested into MP3 to make the change attractive to them.

I'm kind of confused?  MP4 is simply a file with a better quality in a smaller space.  Most people don't care about either of these, so it's not a great deal.

Your site consists of two mp3s, it's legality depends on who owns the copyright to them and if you have the permission to freely distribute them Smiley

K. folks, it doesn't take 3 people to give a warning. Smiley Anyhow as to the *topic* at hand. Thomson is evil, their licensing is vague and legally untenable. It is the subject of great debate on other busy forums but suffice to say Ogg is superior in terms of audio quality, offers same file size benefits, has none of the legal hassles, and is rapidly being adopted by all the major audio apps. I publish to Ogg all the time from Audition. Sound forge et all support Ogg too. Very easy to implement in fact.

At first I was reluctant to change because I got so conditioned to MP3 and who wants to change something if they don't have to right? But I'm glad I did, the Oggs are noticeably superior and I sleep much better not supporting the evil doers at Thomson. Anyone who doesn't believe the issues about Thomson, hit Google for a few minutes, you'll see what I mean. Truly evil, they've ruined any semblance of good faith the industry once had for nothing. Formula for success Thomson style, give something away and once people start using it go, "A-ha!" and sue them blue...

It's an illusion. One is an mp3 and one and mp4 with an mp3 extention.
Try uploading an mp4 for free at geocities. You will get my point.
Maybe if I actually paid for my web space that will be a different story.
God bless America because the internet is a political mess and then accuses us of being Trolls. Which the trolls themselves are the trollops.
