5.1-Channel Sourround Sound MP3 bliss.

So far, we've been used to 2-track mp3 music. Well, no more. MP3 surround is here. It's from Fraunhofer institute itself, the Germany-based organization that came out with original mp3 format. Actually MP3 surround sound format has been here for quite sometime now: Thomson Releases MP3 Surround (Dec 02, '04), 3D Sound by Creator of MP3 (Jul 25, '04), MP3...in Surround Sound (Mar 22, '04).

And that's not all. There's been even talks of MP3 Going the Way of the 8-Track? (Oct 21, '04). And while we are at it, here's some links about general state of affairs of PC Audio/music technology:
# The Future of Digital Audio (Dec 08, '04)
# The Future of PC-Audio: Interview With Keith Kowal (Nov 04, '04)
# An Overview Of Present, Future of Music Technology (Sep 12, '04)
# The Successor to AC'97: Intel High Definition Audio (Jan 18, '04)

But I ain't happy. Why? Because there's not much 5.1 surround sound mp3 content! Waiting for the day when I can listen to Winds of Change (Scorpions) at 5.1 surround sound MP3!
