MP3 Going the Way of the 8-Track?

joepa writes "According to this MSN/ZDNet story, MP3 is dying. Overall, the data has not shown a clear trend, but at least one recent study reports that people are deleting MP3s faster than they are downloading them. AAC and WMA, meanwhile, are apparently gaining market share. Is this evidence that MP3 is being used largely to sample music rather than for permanent archival and listening purposes? They still don't think so. "

    MP3: "We all do only what we are meant to do."

    RIAA: "Then you are meant for one thing. Deletion."

    ahh another simple mind that only likes 4/2 beat and 3 guitars, but has no idea what tb303s' and moogs can do.

    Gee lets look at it this way, techno can have 5x as much melodies/notes per minute than rock can, so if you brain is too slow to process 5 at ones at 250/min then you're just an old fart who is just too slow ( like a 386 )
