MP3...in Surround Sound

Posted by Hemos on Monday March 22, 2004 @01:05AM from the THX-We're-Coming-For-You dept.

A number of people sent in the latest news from the fine folks at Frauhofer that they are expecting to have surround sound working for MP3s by July. The details are pretty sketchy in the article, but supposedly it won't be much more space per MP3s, and existing players will work with it.

It doesn't read like you'll be able to convert existing MP3's because they would not have the information needed to create the extra audio channels. Looks like I'll need to reencode my entire cd collection...again. Fawk.
