The company would also introduce the iPod Mini, Nano, and Touch.

It was the august moment for CDs and Cassettes and the dawn of digital music.

The biggest problem for MP3 was the limited means of listening. The MP3, specifically designed for audio compression, didn’t catch on quickly until the late 90s when internet and computer innovations made it possible to listen to MP3s easily, which also saw the rise and fall of Napster as piracy quickly became a major concern. Over the next decade, they would develop the MP1, MP2, and finally the MP3. This team was called Moving Picture Experts Group or MPEG for short. Brandenburg helped convene an global team, which the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) called to establish standards in audio encoding. “I don’t like the title ‘The Father of MP3,'” Karlheinz Brandenburg said about his idea, “Certainly I was involved all the time from basic research getting it into the market.”

Brandenburg and the Moving Picture Experts Group As the avalanche of changes in the industry continue, Apple’s two major products coming out of the late 90s and early 2000s have made major contribution toward this industry revolution. At the same time, the incessant changes in how music is listened to have diminished music sales, aroused a swarming horde of digital piracy, stripped royalties from artists, and ended an industry of music retailers - most notably Tower Records.Īnd yet, artists have been given more channels to market their music and opportunities for exposure, while audiences are more able to access music and experience new artist without having to purchase blindly. The company was able to revolutionize the music industry in ways that were both unforeseen and rapidly accelerating. Apple has the road listening habits of many people.
