Mac or somebody else has written about mp3 beeing un-developed since a few years.



That is not what I wrote.

I said that the development of the Fraunhofer codec had stopped.

The LAME encoder kept right on going and as far as I know, they are still making developments on it.

IMO the LAME encoder now sounds much better than files made using the Fraunhofer codecs, of which there seems to be a confusing mix of quite a few different ones, too.

It looks the same is for General-MIDI. Listening to real-tracks, the GM sounds seem prehistoric.
Now that sampling technique is so good and easy on PCs, why is nobody developing a GM3 with unlimited voices and newest tones?



I think what you don't like is a function of whatever MIDI synth you are listening to at the time. You can likely do better. Typically, that will cost some money. Check out the Ketron SD-2 Orchestral Wizard. Sounds great. So good, in fact, that sometimes I confuse it for a RealTrack on certain instruments.
