| Initially the only encoder available for MP2
production was the Xing Encoder,
accompanied by the program CDDA2WAV, a
CD ripper that transforms CD audio tracks to
Waveform Audio Files. The Internet
Underground Music Archive (IUMA) is
generally recognized as the start of the on-line
music revolution. IUMA was the Internet's first
high-fidelity music web site, hosting
thousands of authorized MP2 recordings
before MP3 or the web was popularized. In the
first half of 1995 through the late 1990s, MP3
files began flourishing on the Internet. MP3
popularity was mostly due to, and
interchangeable with, the successes of
companies and software packages like
Nullsoft's Winamp (released in 1997),
mpg123, and Napster (released in 1999).
Those programs made it very easy for the
average user to playback, create, share, and
collect MP3s. Less than one decade MP3 had an impact on the music industry and influence on radio�s music formats�can you say, �shuffle�? |
