So since this is the new standard conversions, is the mp3 file still going
to be used widely for a file extension, or is it going to go away. what
does the 3gp stand for? Also is this 3gp just used for apple players or mac
computers? and how rich does it sound. Does it sound better than an mp3 or
does the sound quality sound the same?
Sincerely,
Jason known as Blind Fury

I never heard of this file extension before, but my first hit on google.com
lead me to http://filext.com/file-extension/3GP, where it said:
3GPP and 3GPP2 are the new worldwide standards for the creation, delivery
and playback of multimedia over 3rd generation, high-speed wireless
networks.
Defined by the 3rd Generation Partnership Project and 3rd Generation
Partnership Project 2 respectively, these standards seek to provide
uniform delivery
of rich multimedia over newly evolved, broadband mobile networks (3rd
generation networks) to the latest multimedia-enabled wireless devices.
3GPP and
3GPP2 are based on the MPEG-4 standard which was derived from Apple's
QuickTime. QuickTime 6.5 includes support for key components of the 3GPP
and 3GPP2
specifications. The Macintosh type is: 3GPP
So obviously, quicktime will play 3GP files. A little bit of checking
revealed that quite a few of the audio/video converters will handle 3GP
files including Switch and Replay Converter, the two that I'm familiar
with.
