Time to dump MP3s?
There is no reason to defend MP3, no reason why everyone who currently listens to MP3s stored on their hard drive should not move to something significantly better. The resulting files were small enough to be traded over the net, and MP3 was the format used by Napster and other file-sharing and peer-to-peer networks in the late 1990's. It is still the one format that almost anything will play, a fact that has given it a lease of life it really does not deserve.
There are many things wrong with MP3 and only one thing right.
The right thing is that it does not come with any form of digital rights management.
