MP3 Going the Way of the 8-Track?

Posted by CmdrTaco on Thursday October 21, 2004 @05:02AM from the its-gotta-happen-someday dept.

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. "

To whom ever modded me "Flamebait":

I truly hope you are raped senselessly and viciously by a wild pack of hairy apes, you stupid rat fuck.

Have a nice day, I hope you choke to death on your mother's cock.

Yeah, you know, the OS used by about 90% of all Slashdotters.
It's probably also what you typed your insightful comment on.
