Back in the day when MS first released WMA dBpoweramp was one of the first programs to support it, at the time the whole department was accessible, now it seems WMA is abandoned.

QUOTE (spoon @ Jan 14 2012, 10:08)  now it seems WMA is abandoned. I think the combination of the Ipod explosion which impacted use of WMA along with the HD DVD loss to BD which impacted use of VC-1/WMV spelled the end of the Windows Media group. Microsoft has core patents in various media codecs and softwares, so licensing might have a higher profit margin than rolling your own. I am curious to see if/what incarnation Windows Media Center has in Windows 8. This post has been edited by hellokeith: Jan 15 2012, 00:10 |
