Eventually the MP3 format will be replaced by something smaller.

It already has been; M4A produces smaller an better quality sound files; and AACPlus files are better and smaller still.

Blessed Be, Namaste,

that's Dana, D A N A, NOT Donna, D O N N A
If your synthesizer pronounces them identically, instruct your customized pronunciation dictionary that Dana=dayna.

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?

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?
