I think you’re missing the point. Music is an experience, not a checkbox or text book needing summarized.

"Seems like", and the reality are often different. That's some of the ingenious nature of these inventions—they seem like they should be obvious and easy. And yet they aren't. Not at first. It took a heavy amount of in

They invented a lot of this stuff first, some of the preliminary work going back decades. It's not a secret. It predates digital audio. There's nothing stopping open source digital codecs from ruling, but they need people working

Sadly true, and it's not limited to the ancient era. There are tomes from within the past 100-150 years that would shake up most peoples' entire worldview that are readily ignored. Hell, entire subjects are poo-pooed these days. D

Pretty sure 'breaking' meant 'late-breaking' and the colour etc were meant to inflect urgency (also a bit of a sales tactic, but different intent) rather than particularly large news. It's just old newsy lingo. htt
