Thomson Releases MP3 Surround 283

Posted by CowboyNeal on Thursday December 02, 2004 @07:51PM from the bouncing-around-the-room dept.

Anonymous Howard writes "Thomson has released MP3 Surround, a new MP3 codec. They claim that MP3 Surround supports high-quality multi-channel sound at bit rates comparable to those currently used to encode stereo MP3 material, resulting in files half the size of common compressed surround formats while maintaining backwards compatibility. Wasn't MP3 Pro supposed to be a great new MP3 codec, but never took off? I wonder if this is going to go the same route. Does anyone have a technical view of MP3 Surround? Does it have potential?"

I'm sure I read that on Slashdot before. AAC and OggVorbis have pummeled it into oblivion. Netcraft must've confirmed it, right?

Are my Slashdot stories flowing into each other again?

You were a troll. You're still a troll.

Your attempt at making people feel bad for you failed.

Kill yourself.

It's not dead, but at least in Korea, MP3 is only for old people.
