I don’t believe that this is a great idea. Sure, bumping up the drums or guitar is cool, but what about the other 90% of all music in the world that isn’t made up of: vocals, guitar lead/rhythm, bass, drums and percussion. Think of Dance music, Jazz, Classical or World music?

Also, what about the bands right to creating music (or getting a studio mixer) a certain way. What if the band wants the drums or whatnot to be louder in a song for whatever reason but the consumer doesn’t like it so he/she turns them down. This is taking control away from the creator of the music and isn’t something (that if I was an Artist) I would promote.

naah. mp3 is here to stay. this new format will only be just failed lab rats like the other audio formats out there. the average person could care less if he can magically adjust 6-chanels of his music.

lmao @nu boy

Well, guess who Sony are in partnership with for the manufacture of their plasma and lcd flagship TVs, that’s right, those pesky Koreans. Guess who manufacturs a large proportion of BluRay players on behalf of Sony, thats right, those pesky Koreans. Open up your shiny new Mac book and have a look at many of the chips inside, guess who makes them, thats right, those pesky Koreans. See that huge hard disc inside?, guess who makes many of the controller chips used by WD, Hitachi and all the others, yes it’s those Koreans again. In fact Samsung drives are used in many PC and Apple computers and are well respected. Guess who is now one of the world’s largest mobile phone manufacturers, yes it’s those pesky Koreans again (Samsung). Not really that crap are they?.

mp3 sux and this doesnt deviate much from the formula so why bother? i d like to just mention the craziness with all the ipod accessories i see everywhere. Sound systems designed for i-pod and other mp3 players that cost easily 300-500 euros or more is obsurd. MP3 has nothing to do with audiophile listening not even just simple listening,even in its best rates its much worse than cd which is much worse than proper 12″ vinyl or open reel sound. WTF this world is comin to ?

Packed with a good dose of DRM no doubt. Mp3 will do just fine thank you.

Might be great for mixing your own backing tracks.

i don’t think many bands would want to put out “multi-track” versions of their music. maybe some would as a novelty or for remixing purposes….but yeah

im in a band and we spend a lot of time getting everything to sound perfect and mixed, wouldn’t want to let other people decide how loud the drums are, how loud the guitars are etc because that stuff effects the impact of the song.

Mp3 will always be the best for stereo music – CD quality, small files, universal support, no drm. if you want to control all the instruments yourself use midi. i don’t want to remaster what i listen to. expert should handle the mix. We don’t need any more formats to do the same thing mp3 has done since the start.

Don’t hate, innovate!

I think automatically having intrumental versions of every track would be the best thing ever. Not to mention the solo bass, drum, voice and what not tracks! Everyone could do a killer remix.

Sounds Great to me
Can’t see why bigger filesizes would be a problem when portable players and HDD Constantly gets bigger..

Interesting, but I don’t see it taking off. I’d like to see the mp3 expanded into a container format would eventually be able to include the AAC and OGG codecs. Kind of like the way AVI or QT can carry various combinations of compressors.

I can’t wait to find out wait it sounds like, and how the major manufacturers will react to it if we change over
