Whatever happened to MP3 HD?



In my view, this flop is up there with the time of HD DVD. There was so much hype about it when it was first announced, people were literally going crazy about it. But it just hasn't kicked off. It might, one day, but I don't think so. There are many things I think are doomed for failure, some of which I will in the near future write about. The thing is, though, it seems to be fighting back. A quick search has discovered that people on forums are going crazy about it. And its creator, Thomson, has some software about on this site which allows you to convert your MP3s to HD. What is useful is that it is backward compatible. It creates a backup MP3 song as well so it can play on normal devices, neat huh?

It is good that MP3 HD is fighting back, and seeming to be winning. Once it gets another big press release and some devices that work with it then it will go on by leaps and bounds. Whether it will beat purists who like OGG or FLAC is still to be known, but it will help the general listener by leaps and bounds.
