Hi everybody... I do have a question troubling me... it may be stupid but here it is:
Since mp3 format is widely used in hifi stuff and that it is (didnt tell it should!) the reference when one's talkin about digital music, why not develop a 'fake' mp3 which would contain anything but mp3 content. Only the header would be mp3's and a decoder would be inside it. This to be able to contain other compression format, lossless or lossy, any kind.. Then our prefered audio format would match to any mp3 juke box shit.
Hope somebody will be able to tell me thats its no possible. Sorry for the trouble

Sorry, but a MP3 file contains only music and information tags. The player would not know what to do with a 'decoder' included in the MP3 file.

To get what you want you would have to modify every piece of software or hardware that can currently play MP3s, so that it recognises your 'decoder' code. Then you would have to make the 'decoder' efficient enough to be used on any platform.

BTW I didn't know that MP3 was widely used in Hifi stuff?

alright then.. sounds normal lol
BTW sorry for my english, I intended to say 'portable players' rather than 'hifi stuff'
