It isn't just for Apple stuff. It is used for cell phones and even by
the NLS for their digital audio books. It does sound pretty good, but
I'm not an audiofile. Eventually the MP3 format will be replaced by
something smaller.

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?

Subject: Re: 3gp
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.

What can I use to open this file type?
Can it be converted to say mp3?
