I just had a scary thought. As anybody can guess, the mp3 wont last forever. CD companies will figure a way to make it impossible to ripp a song to a mp3. But, there is always a way to rip a cd, always. But what happens if mp3's become extinct and a new kind of music file comes, like mp4. Will there be a way to still play those songs and or add plugins to play the songs. I also thought, can the empeg play mp2's?
