Chromium To Get Support For MP3 (browsernative.com)

Posted by msmash on from the it's-happening dept.

An anonymous reader shares a post: Chromium, the open source project behind Google Chrome, Opera and several other browsers, is going to support MP3. This would enable users and websites to play MP3 files in Chromium browser. A Chromium contributor informed about this, "We have approval from legal to go ahead and move MP3 into non-proprietary codecs list." The MP3 support in Chromium is targeted for version 62.

    Amazon still sells MP3 files. This means when you click "Buy this album for offline listening" or "Buy this album for use after your subscription expires", and you're not using an Apple service, you get a phonorecord in MP3 format.
