MP3 MP4 MP5 Players: With the club and a disco in your pocket

The portable digital music players can store more than 1,000 CDs

The MP3, a compression system for audio, music has managed to move easily through the Internet and can store hundreds of songs on the PC or on a single CD, without a significant loss of quality. These files have gone from playing on the computer, thanks to programs like WinAmp to listen to all types of appliances, many DVD players play audio files (MP3, including, of course) are recorded on a recordable compact disc. But in addition, the MP3 can travel with the users, as is born a new and diverse generation of portable players capable of delivering a full nightclub. Without exaggerating one bit: the more capacity can hold more than 20,000 songs, two months of music playing 24 hours a day. These devices let you play digital music in various formats, whether they have downloaded from the Internet as if taken from a CD (CD transfer songs to your computer, what is known as "ripping"). The variety of products is just renewed so rapidly that the consumer is well informed before making a purchasing decision. The first question to ask is what it will use the player. From there it is a matter of taste and evaluate the performance of each unit: capacity, software used, duration of batteries, LCD screen size (color or black and white), supported file formats (MP3, OGG WMA, AAC, WAV, etc.), design (size and weight), accessories, price, guarantee, etc..
Something for everyone

The mp3 does not have to be illegal: we can turn our disco mp3 files for private use

There are currently three types of players, differentiated by the way that store music in memory flash, hard drive or CD. The first came with a memory card between 32MB and 256MB, capable of holding between 30 minutes and four hours of music. It is important that they have expansion slots to introduce more memory (no cards up to 1GB). Its great advantage is the size (some smaller than a matchbox and weighing about 30 grams) and, by not wearing moving parts inside, the music does not jump even if the user makes use while jogging. The 64MB can be found from 60 euros. High-capacity players are nothing more than small portable hard drives, born to play music but effective to transport any type of files. Began offering 5GB of capacity up to current models, some with 80GB of memory in which can fit more than 1,200 hours of music.

Both types of players are connected to the PC to download songs using a program that came with your computer. And both must take into account the compatibility with computer operating system, the connection with it (most are USB, fast, and this on all computers with less than five years), the type of files to read (MP3 is the most common, but not only) and if the software that manages the player (firmware) can be upgraded to accommodate future new formats. The volume and playback controls are standard, but the LCD screen may also have the title and author of the song, and remaining battery capacity, etc.., So it is important to their size and visibility under different lighting conditions. Halfway readers are capable of playing MP3 CDs. They have the benefit of the discman (play music CDs 'normal'), but their ability to squeeze all the user must create MP3 CDs for you need a tape recorder and specific software. These CDs work only on certain players (increasingly common), but may contain over 200 items, which together with the low price of these discmans (from 70 euros) make them an attractive alternative.

Much more than music

Many players include voice recorder, another tune the radio and is able to broadcast in FM, so the music store you can hear on any radio within walking distance. But the hard disc players advantage, besides its huge capacity and the ability to handle multiple file types to offer many more possibilities: alarm clock, calendar, contacts, calendar, digital photo management, games and more. Nor is it unusual to find MP3 players embedded in devices not primarily intended for listening to music as mobile phones, electronic organizers (PDAs) or cameras. But... Is all this legal?

Digital music, especially MP3, has always been associated with piracy. The music industry has pursued the file-sharing systems (P2P), Napster, which do not respect copyright, and even tried to prevent the marketing of the first MP3 players, as most of these files are illegal. However, the user can rest assured when purchasing a MP3 player and has many legal ways to fill it with music. For starters, you can transform all of its music CDs into MP3 files for personal use. In addition, you can download music from the music platforms launched by the industry itself (such as Pressplay or MusicNet) or those who have acquired the rights to sell (Mp3.com or iTunes). There are also many artists who sell or give away their albums in MP3 via the Internet.

MP3 on wheels

An MP3 player can have outputs for connecting to any stereo system, including the car. But there are also specially created widgets to install in cars. The advantages are obvious: there are now five chargers stereo CDs to avoid releasing the steering wheel too hard to change, but if the computer reads MP3 refueling should be well before the end of a single disc of 12 hours. Most teams are looking identical to the CD players, which simply adds the ability to read compressed audio formats like MP3. But there are also hard drives of several Gigabytes, which multiplies its capacity, which also shows all the information on the subject in a way that sounds very appealing. 

Why does the MP3 still resist?

This format remains the de facto standard for digital music, although other than acting as resistant. We try to explain why. The MPEG-1 Layer 3, known as MP3, is synonymous with music on the internet. Among other things, its success is because it was the first compression format sound files that are popular. But this feature, which eliminates the parties not audible by human beings to achieve a smaller size, has improved with other Windows formats like WMA, AAC, used by Apple in its iTunes store, or Ogg Vorbis open source. Nevertheless, the MP3 format as preferred resists both in stores and on download music-sharing networks. What is the reason for their popularity?

The MP3 is a veteran in personal music formats. Several groups of investigators who were part of the "Moving Picture Experts Group, MPEG, created him in the early nineties. Among them were the company's Thomson and the Fraunhofer Institute, involved in the manufacture of electronics, however, the first MP3 player you could use did not come until 1995.As you increase this parameter (the maximum is 320 kbps), we see an improvement in sharpness and depth of sound, at the cost of the resulting file occupies a larger space, something that becomes less important for improving connectivity and capacity hard disks. The MP3 format was one of the pioneers, but has not improved over the years In this format is considered as a song encoded at a constant rate of 128 bits per second (kbps) gets a quality equivalent to that of a CD. Who encodes an MP3 song also has the option to create a file with a variable bit rate. In this case, the parties are found more complex composition and automatically raises the rate of bits per second, the opposite occurs in the most simple: it sounds only when an instrument breaks or without music. The user can choose the setting, on a scale from 10 to 100, which provides the highest quality and therefore creates larger files.

Losing some quality sound. The MP3 format was one of the pioneers, but has not improved over the years. This has allowed developers to other formats with various improvements and achieve more sound quality. AAC compression format used by Apple to sell songs in the iTunes Music Store, open source format Ogg Vorbis and Windows Media WMA standard achieved, with the proper playback equipment, better quality than MP3 . This happens as long as the quality of connections is optimal.  The MP4 playing MP3 and is actually incompatible with the "MPEG 4 - Part 14" For the term MP4 is advertised in some stereo equipment, but suggests that it is better than the standard 3, the teams actually play MP3 and are incompatible with the "MPEG 4 - Part 14" which uses the. Mp4 and is multimedia container format that can hold within it video, audio or text.

The most popular.  Overcome by several modern standards, the MP3 is still very much alive among music fans on the Internet. Manufacturers of portable players and mobile phones have in mind the primacy of this format on the Web and P2P networks, and include the necessary codecs for playback on their computers, although some also add WMA, AAC or Ogg Vorbis. Several song download stores are committed to this format, Emusic between them. For most users, MP3 is synonymous with "digital music" One reason for the dominance of the MP3 is that its appearance coincided with the popularization of the Internet and therefore flag has been a symbol of the digital revolution. Thus, to the profane ears (the majority of users), MP3 is synonymous with digital music. "

But a still more powerful reason is that the MP3 is not designed to contain DRM (rights management systems or digital copy). Other compression formats such as AAC or WMA, open the door for these types of programs embedded in the songs, which limit the use that can be given. Copy systems can reduce the number of devices that play songs or determine whether you can burn to a CD, although the user has purchased items in one of the many download stores that populate the Internet under the assumption that has full rights over them.

The reason for its popularity is that the MP3 is not designed to contain anti-copying systems. By contrast, the MP3 lacks these constraints. The user can send the file to your friends and family, turning it into an audio track from a CD, edit it to make a ringtone for your mobile, remixing, etc.. Hence its success in P2P sharing networks.
It is a fact that iTunes Music Store, the store owned by Apple and leader in Internet downloads, has chosen, after checking their disadvantages, by removing DRM from most of its catalog, sold in the AAC format. Even his powerful desktop iTunes player, which did not accept their first MP3 audio compression versions of songs recorded for the CD, had to include it in the end because of its popularity.

However, the MP3 has no DRM to users is not meant to be a free format, since firms that integrate it into their teams must pay a fee to its creators. Therefore, when a consumer buys a device capable of playing MP3, be aware that part of the price of it is the fee for using this standard. FLAC is an audio compression format that reduces file size without affecting sound quality. The generated files are much heavier than the MP3. A song encoded in FLAC can be over 20 megabytes to 4 megabytes of MP3. However, today, 20 megabytes in size can become very affordable and if extended shipping instant access optical fiber to the home. So, is FLAC, like the next MP3 in fiber optics?  In Europe these access speeds of up to one gigabyte, both upwards and downwards. Thus, the fiber can serve to watch videos in high definition, but also to enjoy music compressed with the same quality as the original recording.

Is MT9, "a rival to MP3 as king of clearance sales?

A Korean company has developed a digital audio format that allows users to adjust the various sound tracks of a song. When you hear a song on a player, is it possible to adjust the intensity of the sound of some instruments? That is, you can choose whether to increase or decrease the level of violins or guitars, for example? It seems that MT9 format, also called the "smart form" or "Music 2.0", it will be soon. The Korean company has begun marketing Audizen in Korea to compete with the well-known MP3. To do this, is trying to make it an international standard and promises not to use copy protection (DRM) in its file structure.

With MT9 users can modify the volume of each channel independently in each of the song tracks. You can find different formats to store and play digital music. The best known and used is the MP3 format, developed in 1995 as a sound channel in the other larger format, or multimedia container, called MPEG4, which was intended for video playback. MPEG4 has fallen into disuse, but MP3 has survived. In fact, MP3 has not undergone major changes since then and has lived without a rival since the late nineties of the last century, thanks to the great development that have Internet and music players. Although other companies like Apple and Microsoft trying to promote their own file formats (MP4 and WMP), normally the copy protection, MP3 remains by far the most used format.

But now it seems that his reign may end if the group Electronics and Telecommunications Research Institute (ETRI) of Korea has his way. This consortium has developed a new audio format called MT9, characterized by providing an equalizer six tracks on which you can insert different musical instruments. The format of six tracks are dedicated to voice, chorus, piano, guitar, base and drums. These independent channels are played simultaneously. The advantage is that users can modify the volume of each channel independently in each of the tracks of the song. A format "equalizer". One of its possible applications is to silence the voice parallel principal to leave only the instruments so that they can sing over the song in karaoke mode. Thus, the listener can adjust the sound of each song or piece of music to your taste and your preferences. For example, you can isolate the singer's voice, empowering instruments like drums, guitar or bass, or directly silence. One of its possible applications in parallel, the Korean company has already said it will foster, is mute on lead vocals to make the instruments, so you can sing over the song in karaoke mode. For this, the ETRI said that MT9 will also incorporate a track with the lyrics of the song, which will be displayed on the player screen to the rhythm of it.

Another interesting use, to be able to separate musical instruments independently, will edit or reuse every instrument separately to modify or change the other. Something similar to what musicians can do now in the generation and reproduction of sound to MIDI format, a map database that contains a sequence of music for playback. Anyway, it will not be easy transfer songs from MP3 to MT9, since for the conversion of a song in the MT9 format is necessary to digitally remaster the original music in order to achieve separation into layers of instrument tracks.

Commercial clearance online store vocation

This format is marketed by the company in Korea Audizen. For now, two companies involved in consumer electronics, LG and Samsung, are interested in MT9 include in their next mobile phone models, which will go on sale in the first quarter of 2009. Audizen market has a limited track record in this format at low prices. According to Korean newspaper publishes the Korea Times, Audizen market has a limited track record in this format at a low price (between 2,000 and 3,000 won, ie 1.2 euros to 1.8 euros). Discs sold on the website of the company.
The promoters are confident that this new format will serve to develop the next generation of players and music products for all types of media and with the possibility of interaction with users in the reproduction and modification of the songs.

For marketing in the world, it is expected that the meeting of the "MPEG Industry Forum (developers of multimedia formats), to be held soon in Germany, the format is a vote for approval as an international standard, making so in a format that can compete in the future with MP3. Standard without DRM. Songs purchased from some of the music stores "online" popular as iTunes Music Store, are DRM (Digital Rights Management), which translates as "digital rights monitoring." In reality it is a copy number of constraints introduced by software in the songs that consumers buy in some stores "online". On the other hand, there are services that already sell songs without DRM, such as Emusic, offering their songs in MP3. However, there is no agreement that prohibits the inclusion of copy protection systems in the MP3 format. On the contrary, the aim with MT9 is to adopt as standard free of these systems.
