All these news articles are saying that MP3 support in various devices is going to disappear because the maker isn't licencing MP3 any more. But then in the comments people are saying the opposite is true. Licensing programs are being terminated because the patents have expired and everyone can now use it for free. Certainly this is no reason for anyone to remove MP3 support from anything.
