After the storage and shape of MP3 are solved, the only thing that needs to be solved is the MP3 decoding chip.

To play MP3 songs, you need an MP3 decoder chip to decode them, convert the digital signal into an analog signal, and the converted analog signal audio can be played out through headphones or speakers! This technology is actually not difficult.

The difficult thing is that MP3 is a format that compresses music at a compression ratio of 1:10 or even 1:12, which belongs to lossy compression, and the decoding chip will lose when restoring audio information, which will affect the sound quality effect!

When it comes to chip design, we have to design for ARM, which is now a subsidiary of Qualcomm! AMR can even design a computer processor, not to mention an MP3 decoding chip!!

It's a piece of cake!

Henry made a phone call and immediately instructed ARM to send a team over to help develop the MP3 decoding chip. When MP3 becomes popular in the future, the MP3 decoding chip developed by arm will definitely make a lot of money!

However, it will not be until other companies have signs of developing decoder chips that Arm will sell MP3 decoder chips. In the previous period, of course, it was cool to let Silicon Valley Electronics Group monopolize the market and make a lot of money!!

And this decoding chip is expensive, it is estimated that it will account for at least one-third of the price of MP3, which is a profiteering product!

Of course, the micro hard disk is also a profiteering product! This thing has a high technical content, and it has not taken time to study, and other companies want to make it, and it is really no way in a short time!! or the hard disk is too large, or the storage capacity is small, and any one of the shortcomings exists, and it is difficult to open the market for MP3 manufactured by it!!

Henry was preparing to make an MP3 player, and there was a piece of software on the Internet that suddenly became very popular and was liked by many netizens! It's a music online software! But it's a great thing, using a technology that shocked even Henry - P2P technology!

P2P technology is also known as point-to-point transmission technology!

In general, users download files from the server. But with P2P technology. Then you can get the file from the computer that downloaded the file, and after you download the file, you will automatically share the file, so that you can transfer the file to other computers that need to download the file, so that the download speed can be greatly improved. Save bandwidth on your server!

To put it simply, by joining a P2P network, other computer users can download things from your computer...... And the more users, the faster the download speed, and it's best to use it for video-on-demand or something......

Napste, on the other hand, is used to engage in pirated music, using p2p technology, Nadste has more music on than the music library of Everyday Music! The emergence of this technology has made it very easy for music lovers to share MP3 music among themselves. This has led to a flood of pirated music!!

Henry had just received the news and was shocked. After Napste's efforts, MP3s have spread completely, but they are all pirated! Originally, I wanted to sell MP3 players and songs at the same time, and make money at both ends!

Piracy is powerful, and if you do genuine copy, you won't be able to survive!

Henry said that he was helpless and depressed!

However, there are people who are more depressed than him! Tiantian Music Company no longer makes pirated music, but now there is a more fierce !!

Record label for a time. Heavy losses, physical record sales plummeted!And Tiantian Music Company is okay, not many people are willing to spend money to download music, Tiantian Music currently relies on advertising fees and ICQ company to maintain www. mp3。 com website and the operation of the daily music client!

However. Crisis also means opportunity!!

While others are still worried about piracy, Henry is already thinking about how to win the copyright!

Since piracy is rampant, every day music company can take the opportunity to buy digital music rights from record companies at a very cheap price!

The United States cracked down on piracy very harshly, and Henry knew that sooner or later Napste would play itself to death!!

So, Henry sent people to the major record companies to buy music!

The record company thought to himself. My own music has been pirated and has been circulating on the Internet, and since the Tiantian Music Company wants to buy it, if you sell the music yourself, you can still get a little money! Prompted by this kind of thinking, there are indeed many record companies that are willing to sell their music to the Tiantian Music Company.

However, those music were all music that could barely be sold on physical records, and for piracy reasons, they sold these music to Tiantian Music Company!

Although Tiantian Music Company can't buy the latest record music, it can buy some of the previous music, which is better than nothing. After buying the music, Tiantian Music Company immediately put it on the shelves and promoted it. Otherwise, some users will never be able to find the music they want to listen to, and will turn to Naptste users!!

At the moment, Napste is excellent in p2p, but in other respects, it is simply crude.

Compared with the interface, than the function, than the user experience, it is far inferior to the daily music client!!

As long as there are songs, Napste will not be able to challenge the position of Everyday Music in the Internet!

Actually, Henry didn't take Nappe very seriously.

The United States has intensified its efforts to crack down on pirated music, and Napste has infringed on the interests of too many companies!! and the wind will destroy it......

Napste is so arrogant in piracy, using p2p technology, that piracy is rampant. According to the news received by Henry, the major record companies really can't bear it, and everyone is in contact and ready to sue Napste together!

How does Napste's small arms and legs compete with many record companies in the United States!

On February 25, 1991, major record companies in the United States jointly sued Napste, accusing it of involving hundreds of thousands of infringing songs, and demanding $100,000 in compensation for each pirated song!

As soon as the news came out, it caused a huge sensation.

Many people who don't have access to the Internet have also paid attention to Napste, thinking, what kind of company is this, and it has caused all the record companies in the United States to sue it, and criticize it and suppress it frantically!!!!

On the Internet, music lovers unanimously supported Napste.

"Freedom to share music, support Napste !!"

Although the voices of netizens are very loud, they are not !!

Piracy is piracy, infringement is infringement!

U.S. law does not tolerate !!

The most important thing is that Nappe is just a small company, where can it compete with record companies?

The lawsuit has attracted the attention of many major newspapers in the United States, and the court has taken it very seriously.

Many judicial experts have published articles in newspapers to analyze!

"This lawsuit is bound to be lost by Napste!!

"Napste does constitute an infringement!!!"

“……”

Public opinion unanimously tilted in favor of the record company, and Napste was in a very difficult situation!

Under the pressure of the record companies, within a week, the court ruled that Nadste lost the case!

Naste had no money to compensate the record company and had no choice but to declare bankruptcy in the end!

Although Napste went bankrupt, it opened a Pandora's box, and p2p technology has begun to attract attention, and all kinds of software for piracy activities have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, and it is difficult to control!!

"Go buy Napste!" Henry thought for a moment, picked up the phone, and commanded.

P2p technology is a great technology, and Napste is still valuable...... (PS: Ask for support!!)
