[Ian J]

I still use mp3 as our standard car head unit only supports that or normal CD's.

Same, my car only supports MP3 or WMA and it's brand new...

Hi all

New article about MP3 now being patent-free on slashdot:

https://tech.slashdot.org/story/17/05/16/1314221/mp3-is-not-dead-its-finally-free

@EvilDragon : do you think the Community Codec Pack needs an update ?

Cheers, Magic Sam

Mp3 is not great for the lossless people out there, but I'm not one of those, and with current storage size, I don't really care about having something smaller... I like the compability with almost every device I can think of...

My whishes for a newer Community Codec Pack:
-a rescent Mplayer Version
-exfat installer
-Ntfs activating(but you can activate Ntfs support without installing anything with a simple Terminal Command)
-a working Pandora SD Card installer for installing the whole rescent Zaxxon to SD Card (Repo Version do not work more)
-gparted
-a minimal grafical WebBrowser that is better than this Links Thing like: AnonymousBrowser from the Repo.
This one need only a few kb and is only one executable inside the PND.
-a newer Pndstore integrated( i loved this little old Software)

Do not understand me wrong..i love PND Manager too ..
..but i miss this little Pndstore even.
I think Pndstore was the right Name.

I hope this are good Hints and Whishes for a newer Community Codec PND.
Maybe some of you have more Ideas?

How many of those devices don't also support AAC?

Not that much, my autoradio, a small mp3 compatible cd player in my children's room, and some odd player... Most play aac, ogg or newer format, but just having a single format without any transcoding really worth the inconvenience in my book...

Hi all,

MPEG-2 joins MP3 as being patent-free now (in all but two countries):

Wahey, just in time for it to become almost useless (except for playing DVDs as I recall, but it's really your grandfather's tech that).
