Chapter 156

After the storage and appearance of MP3 are solved, the rest is the MP3 decoder chip.

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

The difficulty is that MP3 is a format that compresses music at a compression rate of 1:10 or even 1:12, which belongs to lossy compression. When the decoding chip restores the audio information, it will cause loss and affect the sound quality! Good decoding chip can make up for the loss of audio signal to a great extent, and ensure the effect of sound quality as much as possible!

When it comes to chip design, we have to replace arm, which is now part of the company! AMR company can even design a computer processor, not to mention an MP3 decoder chip!!!

It's a piece of cake!

Henry made a phone call and immediately ordered arm to send a team to help develop MP3 decoder chip. After the fire of MP3, the MP3 decoder chip developed by arm company will surely make a lot of money!

However, until other companies have the prospect of developing decoding chips, arm will sell MP3 decoding chips. Before this period of time, of course, let the Silicon Valley electronics group monopolize the market, make a pot full of talent!!!

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

Of course, micro hard disk is also a profiteering product! It's a high-tech product. I didn't spend much time researching it. Other companies want to make it. It's really impossible in a short time!!! Either the hard disk is too large, or the storage capacity is small, any shortcomings exist, the MP3 produced is difficult to open the market!!!

Henry's side is preparing to make MP3 players, there is a software on the network suddenly very popular, loved by many Internet users! This software is called Napster. It's a music online software! But it's amazing, using a technology that shocked Henry - P2P technology!

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

In general, users download files from the server. But with P2P technology, 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. This can greatly improve the download speed and save the bandwidth of the server!

In short, join the P2P network, then other computer users can download things from your computer... And the more users, the faster the download speed. It's best to use it for VOD or something, but

Napste is used to make pirated music. Using P2P technology, napste has more music than the music library of everyday music! The emergence of this technology makes it very easy for music lovers to share MP3 music, leading to the flood of pirated music into the river!!!

Henry just received the news and was shocked. After Napster, MP3 is completely spread, but they are all pirated! I'm afraid that the legitimate music of Tiantian music company can't be sold. Originally also want to sell MP3 player, while selling songs, both ends make money!

Pirated powerful, do legitimate can't live!

Henry said that he was helpless and depressed!

However, some people are more depressed than him! Every day music company does not do pirated music, but now comes a more fierce!!!

For a while, record companies suffered heavy losses, and the sales volume of physical records plummeted! And Tiantian music company is OK, originally not many people are willing to spend money to download music, Tiantian music now depends on advertising expenses and ICQ company's injection to maintain www. mp3。 Com website and daily music client operation!

However, crisis also means opportunity!!!

When others are still worried about piracy, Henry has been thinking about how to win the legitimate copyright!

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

The United States is very strict in cracking down on piracy. Henry knows that Napster will play itself to death sooner or later!!!

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

Record companies think that their music has been pirated and has spread on the Internet. Since music companies want to buy it every day, they can get a little money if they sell it! Driven by this idea, many record companies are willing to sell their music to Tiantian music company.

However, those music are almost not sold by physical records, plus the reason of piracy, so they sold these music to Tiantian music company!

Although Tiantian music company can't buy the latest released record music, it's better to buy some of the previous music. After buying music, Tiantian music company immediately put it on the shelves and publicized it. Otherwise, some users can't find the music they want to listen to all the time, and they will turn to become Napster users!!!

At present, napste is excellent in P2P, but in other aspects, it's just crude.

Compared with the interface, function and user experience, it's not as good as everyday music client!!!

As long as there are songs, Napster can't challenge the position of everyday music in the network!

In fact, Henry didn't pay much attention to Napster.

The intensity of cracking down on pirated music in the United States is too strong, and Napster company infringes on the interests of too many companies, and the wood shows in the forest, the wind will destroy it!!! To crack down on piracy and catch the typical example is what Napster company is talking about

Napste company is too arrogant to do piracy, using P2P technology, which leads to widespread piracy. According to the information Henry received, the major record companies can't bear it. Everyone is in good touch and ready to sue Napster!

Napster's small arms and legs, how to fight against many record companies in the United States!

On February 25, 1991, the major U.S. record companies jointly sued Napster, accusing it of involving hundreds of thousands of infringing songs and demanding compensation of $100000 for each pirated song!

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

Many people who don't have access to the Internet also pay close attention to napste company, thinking, what kind of company is this, which actually causes all the record companies in the United States to sue it, and make a verbal attack, crazy crackdown on it!!! It's really awesome!!!

On the Internet, music lovers are all in favor of Napster.

"Free music sharing, support napste company!"

Although the voice of netizens is very big, but not egg!!!

Piracy is piracy, and infringement is infringement!

American law will never tolerate it!!!

Most importantly, napste is just a small company. How can it compete with record companies?

The lawsuit has attracted the attention of many big newspapers in the United States, and the court has paid special attention to it.

Many judicial experts are in the newspaper article analysis!

"Napste will lose this lawsuit!"

"Napste does constitute an infringement!!"

“……”

The consensus has turned to the record company. Napster is in a very difficult situation!

Under the joint pressure of the record companies, the court ruled that Napster lost the lawsuit within a week!

Napste has no money to pay for the record company, and can only declare bankruptcy in the end!

Although napste company went bankrupt, it opened the Pandora's box. P2P technology has begun to attract people's attention. All kinds of software for piracy activities have sprung up, which is hard to control!!!

"Go and buy Napster!" Henry thought about it, picked up the phone and said.

P2P technology is a powerful technology, Napster company is still valuable... (PS: ask for support!)
