It sounds like he got into it because it piqued his interest so he did a deep dive on the subject. Nothing wrong with that. I will get frustrated with people sometimes for not doing things that they ought to be doing, but I would never sh*t on someone for following their bliss and spending their hobby time on things I personally am not interested in. If this pisses you off then I can't imagine what sort of vitriol you would direct at someone who is into, say, quilting. "Aren't quilts solved problems already?!? You just go down to Target and buy one, WTF people!"
- archagon 10y agoWhen your solution to an incredibly minor and easily-solvable problem is to ask people to bug Apple engineers about adding new features to a decade-old encoder, maybe you're on the wrong track. I'm frustrated by Marco's extreme fussiness, not his curiosity. (And there's no doubt his curiosity often leads to interesting places. I learned some great tidbits about MP3 encoding in the last few episodes!)

- archagon 10y agoI'm referring to the article. I presume that if Apple ends up supporting MLLT ID3 tags natively based on Marco's request, he'll feel free to switch his podcast to VBR without guilt. (Even though this will cause problems for all his non-iOS11 listeners.)
