You obviously [might] have transferred a song to/from a friend via Bluetooth, iR or wifi, most likely the music file is MP3.

In the early days of the last decade (2010s), some of us even carried an extra device like a portable MP3 Player and the richer kids an iPod today thanks to how powerful our phones have become, we don't need an MP3 player anymore.

It is very easy to say that MP3 players are dead, they died in the last decade. But the MP3 file format might not make it past this decade(2020s) too. As our phones become even more powerful and access to the internet becomes easier, we might not need to save offline copies of our favourite songs the old school way of MP3 players. Music streaming services like Spotify are already becoming the preferred way to carry our digital music with us.

Some Advantages of Music Streaming
1. One playlist across devices: You can switch devices and listen to the same songs you love. No stress of transferring music files across your various devices. Same songs on your PC/Mac, Smart TV and Phones, up-to-date and synchronized all the time.
2. Discover good music effortlessly: Spotify and co have a very nice way of recommending songs you might like. You will be amazed by how much good stuff is out there from their unlimited collection of songs.
3. Support your creatives . : Oh! Yeah!! Music streaming can reduce piracy and help our musicians earn more form their hard work.
4. HQ Music: Expect High Audio Quality from music streaming services. If you ain't getting that maybe you have some data saving settings turned on.

By the end of 2020s (2029) MP3 files might just become vintage like... (do you remember the 3GP video format?). Welcome to 2020 and enjoy technology. Bye-bye for now.

Offline sounds have come a long way. From midi to amr to wav to ogg to aac to mp3.. It will only be replaced by another with a better quality.

Ournolly:

aac to mp3? Is this a joke or what?

A while ago I shared a post about the MP3 file format and what the future might hold for it. Read below:


Are you using music streaming services daily yet?

angelfallz:


You have data to waste Abi. Me that can listen to songs on repeat for a whole day, so I'll just be using my data to re-stream and re-stream? No wonder youths complain that data finishes quickly, they are re-streaming

Blastedholligan:
It's not a waste if you can afford it.

DesChyko:


Stop wasting words.
What have you successfully impacted to the audience in that space you used?
Please, rephrase efficiently.

Ournolly:

You sounds like a very proud, rude senseless idiot that can never take correction of your senseless rant.

Anyone that knows one or two about audio encoding will be aware that acc was created to succeed mp3, aiming at enhancing the audio quality yet less file size as a result of advanced compression.

Empty heads like you are running over the social media, teaching things you have no idea of and yet too arrogant to learn.
Half education is a very dangerous disease.
aac to mp3 indeed!

So all you're trying to say is that mp3 comes before aac?
How hard could it been to tell me in your very first quote
'mp3 was invented before aac.'
Stop wasting words. Be effective with your submissions. That way you can actually use proud, rude, senseless, emptyhead, arrogant and half-education without seeming like you're painting a picture of yourself.

Oh, and the beginning of your last post should be 'You sound'. I guess half-educated people know that much.

joshikenna2:
Guy, sit down and learn, you don't know anything. He is right. AAC succeeded mp3. Spotify even uses AAC

ddjay:

Guy lets manage what we have, which is eighter download or convert cds to mp3. The problem here is that streaming will turn this our crooked and thieving telecoms to multibillion pounds companies, they will be making trillions everyday. if you want us to migrate to streaming then make a properly fair billing arrangement with the telcos, most especially glo the snail speed network

Ournolly:


You are either disoriented or you do not understand English as you agreed with my point and I still said I don't know anything.

I sincerely hope and believe the former is the case and not the later as it will be really tragic that a bloke with hairs in both his public and private parts cannot comprehend one line sentence.

Is Spotify available in Nigeria AppStore

joshikenna2:


I use spotify for windows

joshikenna2:
okay. Easy, you can use a proxy or vpn to create an account online, then download the app from APKFUN or anyother site for sideloading apps

If it's too complicated for you, use Deezer. It's available in Nigeria and just as good as spotify. I've seen someone use it.

Both spotify and Deezer offer 3 months free subscription after which you will pay #3700. If you got the money or if you really love music, it's 100% worth it.

Enskynelson:
See Nigerians calling Spotify! Something they are legally not allowed to use in Nigeria. You are not still afraid of your unlawfulness and you come online to proclaim it.
