Talk:MP3 player

wording[edit]

Right now the article says it's a "misnomer" to call an MP3 player an MP3 player. I don't think "misnomer" is the best word here. Going by the dictionary definition of misnomer, this would only make sense if the MP3 player did not play MP3s at all (as opposed to playing more than just MP3s, as it does.) 95.151.70.107 (talk) 14:18, 26 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

wording[edit]

sugest:

"Other formats are open source, such as Vorbis, FLAC, and Speex (all part of the Ogg open multimedia project)."

should be:

"Other formats are free and open, such as Vorbis, FLAC, and Speex (all part of the Ogg open multimedia project)."

because the reference implementation of a format can be open source, not the format itself, which doesn't have source code. People are free to make non-open source implementations of any of the formats mentioned above.

first[edit]

It's "commonly held" that the rio was the first mp3 player, but User:68.38.80.92 added the thing about the Eiger player being first. I'd not heard of it, but a quick google finds several contemporanoues reviews such as http://business.fortunecity.com/tisch/493/MPManReview.htm, which do indeed say that the Eiger was on sale first, at least in Asia. -- John Fader

MP3 player → Digital Audio Player – Its correct technical name is Digital Audio Player, MP3 is just a format which all of them support it but are not limited to it, specially in recent years. Editor-1 (talk) 12:04, 18 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

oppose, of course it is a digital audio player, however, mp3 is the quintessential format that everyone uses, at the point where, non-technical people would refer to formats even as mp3. It became basically a catch-all for mp3s. also, primary sticking point. Artix Kreiger (talk) 13:51, 18 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

AfD of Capsule speaker[edit]

More opinions welcome at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Capsule speaker. Is capsule speaker a generic term for a now-notable device, or simply a brandname from X-mini? Andy Dingley (talk) 10:26, 27 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
