> MP3, the digital audio coding format, changed the way we listen to music
> and drove the adoption of countless new devices over the last couple of
> decades. And now, it's dead. The developer of the format announced this
> week that it has officially terminated its licensing program.
>
> The MP3 is dead but its effect on the digital landscape is profound. It
> enabled easier downloading of audio files during the broadband days of the
> internet and drove technical newcomers to join the cyber age. The iPod and
> iTunes both fueled a new era for Apple and led to the iPhone and all of its
> imitators that dominate the way we communicate today.
>
> Unlike vinyl or the cassette, it seems unlikely that MP3 will ever have a
> nostalgic resurgence. The audio quality is trash by modern standards and
> some research has even suggested that its compression reinforces perceived
> negative emotional characteristics in musical instruments to the detriment
> of positive emotional characteristics.

> In honor of the MP3, let's all listen to the song "Tom's Diner" by Suzanne
> Vega https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=whbabi7KA-8  that Karlheinz
> Brandenburg used as a reference track while he was developing it in 1994.
> Below, you'll find an embed of all the audio that's lost on the track when
> it's run through MP3 compression.
