Freed At Last From Patents, Does Anyone Still Care About MP3?
-
There might be things that are better these days in the technical sense. But there is always value in having something "good enough" that is freely available to use to keep those technically better yet more expensive options in check.

I have thousands of mp3s so I'd say they still matter. As far as audio quality goes I doubt my ears, at least at my age, can tell the difference between them and a lossless format.
-
Yes. People forget that regardless of the technical differences between them ultimately it is your ears that have to listen to them and I doubt the average person can really tell the difference.

yt-dlp uses m4a but sometimes I like my library to be mo3 just for nostalgia

And Mazda 3. The platforms are the same but engines and interiors a lot different between the Fords and the Mazdas at least.

Ubiquitousness is not an aspect of the codec, let alone a technical one. It's yet another failure of capitalism.

Check out the many OTR Gold podcasts that have the serialized shows as episodes.

Find somewhere that accepts/generates ewaste and you might be able to score an internal CD/DVD drives. We were doing some reorganizing at work and I saw a literal box full of 5.25" drives

The concept of file extensions really break down when it comes to audio and video files
Honestly anywhere other than windows they start getting a bit funky since most ecosystems don't actually rely on the filename to determine the file type
It also doesn't help that so many file types are just a bunch of text files shoved into a zip file wearing a mask. It's all abstractions all the way down baby!

Mhmm I havenāt heard of the first two. I still listen to mp3s that I got from the 90s.
