MP3 With Surround Sound

Posted by Suhit Gupta in "THOUGHT" @ 01:00 PM

"The Fraunhofer Institute has found a way to reproduce surround sound in a way that works with small MP3 files. Using a small amount of additional information added to an MP3 encoding stream the technology catches information about where sounds are supposed to be coming from. Fraunhofer said that the system it developed would work with existing MP3 software and music players".

They are expecting to have this working by July. The details on how the encoding will take place is not very clear from this article but apparently the size of each MP3 won't be changing drastically.
