Surround Sound Coming To MP3’s
Remember those cool Pink Floyd records where the sound seemed to start in the back of your head and race around in a circle? Well, the surround-sound effect is coming to mp3 downloads.
When an MP3 Surround song is played, much of the three-dimensional effect remains with some sounds appearing to come from somewhere other than the headphones.
The creator, Thomson Technology cuts deals with any electronics manufacturers who want to make any MP3 player. Every time an iPod, Microsoft Zune or music phone is sold, for example, Thomson already gets a 75-cent licensing fee.
Would you pay extra for surround sound?
