| 1435387 | 2017-05-16 21:09:00 | www.stuff.co.nz :annoyed: A rather disingenuous spin. They have only stopped licencing it because all of the patents have expired ... so it is now free. en.wikipedia.org |

Dont do even the most basic fact check Dont include any reference to where the 'facts' came from when copying from another website, remove any references that the original actually gave |

| 1435390 | 2017-05-17 00:59:00 | Perhaps they overlooked the common occurrence where free is exactly the opposite of dead? It's not like anyone will delete their MP3 collections because someone stops licensing a codec. |

| 1435392 | 2017-05-17 22:57:00 | I think we just have to accept that the days of investigative journalism are well & truly gone. The media know theres better money to be made in scandal , gossip & feelgood stories about cats . |

The media know theres better money to be made in scandal , gossip & feelgood stories about cats . :D ;)Always to be accompanied by a random file photo. A cardinal rule of modern journalism is that a photo can have the bulk of a thousand words, or by the whirl of a mouse wheel, ten thousand words. Fills the page easily, requires no skills in any known language, no comprehension needed, can't be spelt wrong, and it is a tax-deductible expense. Perfect. |

| 1435394 | 2017-05-19 03:28:00 | It'll never go dead, People and I mean a lot of people use it. Although for people who enjoys listening to music they'll either download Flac or HD-MP3 I was gonna get a HD-MP3 Player a few months back but will wait till a bit later on the year |

| 1435395 | 2017-05-19 04:31:00 | I've never heard of HD-MP3 is it this? en.wikipedia.org if so I wouldn't be buying anything personally as it looks like a dead end. And why would you wan't a lossless/lossy hybrid anyway? seems entirely pointless. If you can only play the lossy version on a device you are wasting a ton of space for data you can't use, and if you can play the lossless stream why would you ever need the lossy version? Personally I keep a Lossless copy of my music as a backup/archive/network streaming source and have a 192 kbps mp3 copy separately for use on portable devices |

| 1435396 | 2017-05-19 04:44:00 | I guess a fair few people out there are using lossless (or close to lossless) formats with crappy speakers/headphones and wouldn't be able to notice the difference | the_bogan (9949) | ||
