Re: What ever became of mp3PRO???

MP3 is an open protocol. MP3Pro is not. And it never lived up to the hype, certainly not enough to warrant the licensing costs.

On top of this, AAC+ came in and pretty much replaced it entirely. Same concepts, not ENTIRELY open but moreso than MP3Pro (but has been 'opened' easily by the community), and is very well supported these days.
