After the storage and appearance of MP3 are solved, what remains to be solved is the MP3 decoder chip.

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

The difficulty is that MP3 is a format that uses a compression ratio of 1:10 or even 1:12 to compress music. It belongs to lossy compression. When the decoding chip restores the audio information, there will be losses, which will affect the sound quality! A good decoding chip can make up for the loss of audio signal to a large extent, and ensure the sound quality effect as much as possible!

When it comes to chip design, you have to replace ARM, which is now a subsidiary of Qualcomm! AMR can design even computer processors, not to mention a mere MP3 decoder chip! !

It's a piece of cake!

Henry made a call and immediately ordered ARM to send a team to help develop the MP3 decoder chip. When MP3 becomes popular in the future, the MP3 decoder chip developed by the arm company will definitely be able to make a lot of money!

However, until other companies have signs of developing decoding chips, arm companies will sell MP3 decoding chips. Before this period of time, of course, the Silicon Valley Electronics Group was able to 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 profitable product!

Of course, micro hard drives are also profitable products! This thing has a high technical content, and there is no special time to research it. If other companies want to make it, it is really nothing in a short time! ! Either the hard disk is too large, or the storage capacity is small, any shortcoming exists, it is difficult for the manufactured MP3 to open the market! !

Henry is preparing to make an MP3 player. There is a software on the Internet that is suddenly very popular and is liked by many netizens! This software is called Napste. Is a music online software! But it's awesome, using a technology that shocked Henry-P2P technology!

p2p technology is also called 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 have downloaded 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 has the advantage Can greatly improve the download speed. Save the bandwidth of the server!

To put it simply, join the p2p network, then other computer users can download things from your computer... and the more users there are, the faster the download speed. It’s best to use it for video-on-demand or something...

However, Napste is used to engage in pirated music. Using p2p technology, Napste has more music than Tiantian Music's music library! The emergence of this technology makes it very easy to share MP3 music among music lovers. Leading to the flood of pirated music! !

Henry had just received the news and was shocked. After Napste did this, MP3 was completely spread, but it was all pirated! I'm afraid that Tiantian Music's genuine music won't be sold anymore. Originally I wanted to sell MP3 players and songs at the same time, making money at both ends!

Piracy is powerful, and you can't survive if you do it!

Henry said he was helpless and depressed!

However, someone is more depressed than him! Tiantian Music Company does not make pirated music anymore, but now there is something more fierce! !

Record company for a time. Disastrous losses, physical record sales plummeted! Fortunately for Tiantian Music Company, not many people were willing to spend money to download music. Tiantian Music currently relies on advertising fees and the company's capital injection to maintain the operation of the website and Tiantian Music Client!

however. Crisis also means opportunity! !

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

Now that piracy is rampant, Tiantian Music Company can take the opportunity to buy music digital rights from record companies at a very cheap price!

The United States is very strict in cracking down on piracy. Henry knows that Napste will kill itself sooner or later! !

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

The record company thought. [ㄨ] My music has been pirated, and it has been circulated on the Internet. Since Tiantian Music Company wants to buy it, I can get a little money if I sell my music! Prompted by this kind of thinking, there are indeed many record companies willing to sell music to Tiantian Music Company.

However, those music are almost unsold music from physical records. With the addition of piracy reasons, they sold these music to Tiantian Music Company!

Although Tiantian Music Company cannot buy the newly released record music, it is better than nothing to buy some of the previous music. After Tiantian Music bought the music, it immediately put it on the shelves and promoted it. Otherwise, some users will always be unable to find the music they want to listen to, and will develop into Napste users instead! !

At present, the Napste company is also excellent in p2p, and in other aspects, it is simply crude.

Compared with the interface, the function, and the user experience, it is far inferior to the Tiantian Music Client! !

As long as there is a song, Napste can not challenge the status of Tiantian Music in the network!

In fact, Henry didn't take Napste too seriously.

The United States' crackdown on pirated music is too intense, and Napste has infringed on the interests of too many companies, and the wind will destroy it! ! Fighting against piracy and catching typical examples is the Napste company...

Napste's piracy is too arrogant, using p2p technology, so that piracy is rampant. According to the news that Henry received, the major record companies really couldn't bear it. Everyone got in touch and prepared to sue Napste together!

Napste's small arms and legs, how to fight against many US record companies!

On February 25, 1991, major U.S. record companies jointly sued Napste, accusing it of hundreds of thousands of infringing songs and demanding compensation of US$100,000 for each pirated song!

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

Many people who have not surfed the Internet are also paying attention to Napste Company, thinking, what kind of company this is, it has caused all the record companies in the United States to sue it, and they are verbally and madly suppressed! ! It's really awesome! !

On the Internet, music lovers unanimously support Napste.

"Free music sharing, support Napste company!!"

Although the voices of netizens are very loud, they are all together! !

Piracy is piracy, and infringement is infringement!

American law will never tolerate it! !

The most important thing is that Napste is just a small company, how can it beat a record company?

This lawsuit has attracted the attention of many major newspapers in the United States, and the court has also paid special attention to this lawsuit.

Many judicial experts post analysis in newspapers!

"Napste will definitely lose in this lawsuit!!"

"Napste Company does constitute an infringement!!"

"..."

Public opinion unanimously fell to the record company, UU reading www.uukānshu. ComNapste's situation is very difficult!

Under joint pressure from the record companies, the court ruled that Napste lost the case within a week!

Napste had no money to compensate the record company, and finally declared bankruptcy!

Although the Napste company went bankrupt, it opened the Pandora's Box. P2p technology has begun to attract people's attention. Various software for piracy activities has sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, and it is difficult to control! !

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

p2p technology is a powerful technology, Napste company is still valuable... (PS: please support!)
