Apparently…there is an “an international body responsible for digital technology” that is engaging in some sort of process that will eventually result in a standard digital music format. And, a Korean company, Audizen, has entered into this sweepstakes some sort of user friendly, multi-track system that will allow listeners to screw up properly recorded and mixed tracks.
Audizen is a Korean company promoting the MT9 digital music format, a proposed follow-up to the ubiquitous WAV, MP3 and AAC formats on computers, websites and iPods. Whereas MP3s are merely compressed versions of songs, MT9 has separate controls for each musical instrument. Listeners can tweak the volume for each channel - such as guitar, drums, bass and vocals - muting or amplifying their favourite parts.
The technology was first developed at Korea’s Electronics and Telecommunications Research Institute before being acquired by Audizen. In April, Audizen’s engineers presented MT9 to the Motion Picture Experts Group (MPEG), an international body responsible for digital technology. “They immediately voted to make it a candidate for the digital music standard format,” CEO Ham Seung-chul told the Korea Times. The list of candidates will be further whittled down at a June conference in Germany.
The obvious evidence of the continuing decline of civilization becomes apparent in this blurb.
Songs mastered for the MT9 format not only allow you to take out the annoying saxophone solos, they can also convert any song into a karaoke-friendly instrumental version, or even a more intimate a capella.
Karaoke!! Karaoke!! Karaoke!!!
Don’t they know what karaoke leads to?

“Utilizing the concept put out by the EITA, Audizen developed the new format as a possible de facto standard to replace the aging MP3 format.
The format was presented at an MPEG meeting held in France in April of 2008. At that time the format was selected as a candidate for the new standard.
Another meeting will be held in June of 2008 in Germany by the group. It is anticipated that the format will get officially selected by the group to replace the MP3 standard. ”
