For geek audiophiles: MP3Pro, the best thing to happen since, well, MP3
#1
The <a href=http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,4149,1191781,00.asp target=_blank>latest issue</a> of PC Magazine detailed the upcoming MP3Pro audio format.

Why should you care? Simple.

You know all those MP3 music files you've got stored on your hard drive? Even though the compression is still waaaaaaay better than if you had to save them as WAV files, they do start to take up a lot of space once you have enough of them.

Now, what if you could take an MP3 file that was roughly 1 MB per minute's worth of music... and compress even further to about <b>512k in size per minute's worth</b> of music. And <b>not lose any quality in sound</b>.

In fact, a 96-Kbps quality MP3Pro file is comparable to a 128-Kbps MP3 file.

I know I feel like a friggin' infomercial right now, but once this format becomes reality... ah, the fun we shall have.
