> Why do people insist on still using MP3, when better stuff is available? First, most people here recognize that this is something from the past. Second, some people work with older systems which do not support AAC due to patent reasons. This is not about libre software, just the fact that MP3 is easy to support because its patent fees (at the time anyway) are lower than AAC and the circuitry can be placed for tenth of a US cent (which Opus don't have advantage of). There are new standalone players (built into speakers or radios) out there which don't support AAC purely because of patent fees (MP3 no longer have active patents). This makes MP3 a lowest-common denominator of compatibility.
