<br>
these are things that are definitely important. But I think high quality audio production will not need lossy codecs like mp3 and its proprietary licenses.<br>
<br>
There is enough license-compatible high quality software out there.<br>
If someone needs something on top one must build it himself, i.e. when converting is a kind of need.<br>
<br>
