Were will all end?? Mxp4 & Mt9 (TECHNOLOGY)

More to the point were will it go next...Its been 15 years since Cd's were introduced and it was a step in the right direction...smaller and more portable than viynl,better looking and super hi-fi compared with tapes, everones a winner. Next via minidiscs and a couple other dead formats we hit mp3's .........Low quality......but more portable than a camper van. All of a sudden we favor phone and laptop speakers to hi-fi systems and a million and one mp3's with nothing but a track title over 10 page cd booklets. So what next?

Well some pretty major developers including Sony and LG have started getting there sticky fingers into a couple of new formats namley Mxp4 and Mt9. These formats simply put have all tracks used in the recording process Drums/bass/vocals/guitars ect.. stored in the file seprately. So u can choose what u want to hear or the Creator/artist will give you 3 or 4 diffrent versions of the song to listen too ie: Chillout Mix, Instrumental Mix and so on....but you will still have only one file to deal with.

There are a few un-answered questions like why and what for (which are prity huge) but if your a music buff and need more stimulation than a bunch load of low quality mp3's can offer it may be an avenue you can look into......
