Why isn't there an MP3 2.0 with higher quality and more compression?

Well there's mp4 and mp5

mp4 is a video format / container and mp5 is a gun

Opus is the best lossless codec currently. MP3 is ancient garbage; compression has advanced significantly since then.

Because they have aac now.

sounds like you want opus

MP5 is very high quality though

We have USB 2.0 and 3.0.
Why hasn't the MP3 foundation updated their codec?

Sounds like you're looking for AAC

The sentiment in the music industry is that digital media is destroying the business. They're much more worried about creating universal DRM to maintain their monopoly than about making marginal improvments to a codec that people already accept.
Also: The hifi market is a tiny fraction of music consumers today. Most people do not consume music in the same way that they consume movies.

You want FLAC for archiving purposes and Opus for good quality and great file sizes.

AAC is literally MP3's successor.

Vorbis, Opus or FLAC

There really isn't a good reason to use Vorbis these days when Opus exists.

>flac

nigga just save it as fucking iso if you're going to be that retarded. Going through all that to save 20 MB on a 500 mb disc.

This, in a 2011 test it ranked first as the overall better audio codec. Though the latest 1.3 october 2018 version has been able to achieve human recognizable speech at bitrates using a mono channel as low as 5 kbps and reportedly matches AAC for half the bitrate now.

The FLAC compression ratio is 70-75% of the original file size. It adds up for large collections.
Also, it's actually nice to be able to play it on a music player.

aac is nonfree garbage though

non-free in what aspect?

You've got to pay royalties.

There was one, but it's dead now
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mp3PRO

For distributing music in that format?. If so source?. I just read that you didn't have to pay anything but article might be outdated.

I am confused because what you posted does look like you need to pay to distribute shit.

That looks like royalty-encumbered to me.

It seems that you have to pay a fee if you intend to sell decoder/encoder software.
Selling video encoded using AAC is free.
Freely sharing an encoder/decoder seems to be free however.

I think developing your own encoder costs, but if it's worth it (maybe like for apple) and you pay make the encoder you could encode/sell fifty trillion songs and not pay a dime.

Well for one thing "MP3" doesn't actually exist, it's a misnomer - what such files actually are compressed with is MPEG-2 using the 3rd layer which is why everyone calls it "MP3."

It's technically inaccurate but Humans are fucking stupid so that's why the name stuck.

Should technically be known as MP2, to be perfectly honest.

color me shocked. what a fucking simpleton.

based fucking retard.

this is the successor of mp3 en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MPEG-4_Part_3

...

Which is a lot better than MP3 where you had to pay for distributing content encoded with MP3.
And it's the same reason AV1 was created.

>Opus is the best lossless codec

What?

mp3 is as good as it needs to be. Storage and bandwidth haven't been a concern in the past 10 years.

newfriend meant lossy I assume

Same reason jpeg is used everywhere in images. Shit’s good enough and ample HDD space and bandwidth make it not worth the few kilobytes saved

>The FLAC compression ratio is 70-75% of the original file size.
That's a bit too optimistic in general. 50-55% on average is more realistic.

>Should technically be known as MP2
No. MP2 (MPEG-1 Audio Layer II or MPEG-2 Audio Layer II) is a different thing.
