MP3 is still far from niche as this article tries to hammer in repeatedly.

MP3 is still far from niche as this article tries to hammer in repeatedly.
- GGByron 2y agoLarge hard drives and fast internet do not render obsolete the principle of frequency domain compression. MP3 and JPG will probably remain in service for a very long time. But of course, if people weren't habituated to this bogus conception of obsolescence, how on earth would Microsoft manage to sell them a word processor for $179.00?
- teractiveodular 2y agoThey don't. You now subscribe to Copilot 365 or whatever the hell Office is called today for the low, low price of $12.99 per month for the rest of your life.
- GGByron 2y agoI'm sure that's also an option but I'm looking at their website right now and it says I can own this warmed-over text editor outright for 179$. What a bargain.
- bobsmooth 2y agoI bet the average person hasn't downloaded an MP3 (or AAC for that mater) in probably a decade. Everyone streams music now.
