10 Years of MP3
July 14, 2005
The Data Compression News Blog reports that July 14th, 2005, is the 10th anniversary for MP3s.
In 1995, the researchers at Fraunhofer Institute for Integrated Circuits IIS decided to use .mp3 as the file name extension for their new audio coding technology. Soon MP3 became the generally accepted acronym for the ISO standard IS 11172-3 MPEG Audio Layer 3.
In 1992 MP3 was in fact so far ahead of its times, that the industry considered the technology far too complex for practical application. It turned out, however, that its development was the bottom line advancement in audio coding - no other coding method so far could uncrown MP3 as the standard for digital music on the computer and on the Internet.
