Simple Tunes program released - make an iPod out of your MS Smartphone! March 30, 2004 [MS Smartphone] | By anonymous 1. While built-in Windows Media Player allows for MP3 files playback too (apart from Microsoft´s own formats), this iPod -like MP3 player program may be more user friendly for some people. 
The developer of the program writes: Turn your Microsoft Smartphone into a portable MP3 player! Try the 3-Day trial today. Finally, a straight forward MP3 player for your Smartphone. Simple Tunes has been designed from the outset to be simple to use, leaving you to enjoy your music. No more earning complicated options, or getting confused by play lists. Just browse to your music and play. Or plug in a storage card with your favourite music and away you go. Simple Tunes features include:
Vendor of each MP3 player (hardware) must pay ransom to Germans, because a German company holds patents for MP3 format (see below for more info), so clearly the time is ripe for other audio formats that would have better compression and that would be open... MP3 is the shortened name for MPEG-1 Layer III (or MPEG Audio Layer III) and is an audio subset of the MPEG industry standard developed by ISO (the Industry Standards Organization) and became an official standard in 1992 as part of the MPEG-1 standard. Fraunhofer Gesellschaft (FhG), a German company (financed mainly by German government) was the company originally involved in MP3 development and holds key patents regarding the technology. MPEG-1 Layer III is an audio only compression component and is a direct descendant from MPEG-1 which is low-bandwidth video compression, the type that is used over the internet and MPEG-2 which is a high-bandwidth audio and video compression which is the standard for DVD technology.
