Holy crap! Those are bad odds! How about getting attacked (EDIT) by a shark (1:11.5 million)?

I was trying out mp2 on my nexus 7 and its a no go. Doesn't play any music. - however tried the m4a format and it looks like it works on everything.

I will be using m4a format for now on!

Seems to me that MP2 is best for PC since it requires no codecs. But it doesn't play on Android devices (and OUYA).

M4A works on Android very well. Audacity converts it nicely.
I was able to confirm that M4A does not work on Windows 7 unless a codec is installed, but MP2 does just fine.
I also tested on my Mac and M4A works for Mac builds as well as MP2 under OSX 10.9.4
Unfortunately, PauseMusic -> ResumeMusic does not work on Mac. The engine reports that music is playing, but no music is audible.

Don't take my word for it, but as far as I know MP3 (not talking about extensions that are still under patent) expired last year (or possibly earlier than that) Which to my understanding means that, if you use the first version of mp3, you are free to do so. If on the other hand you use mp3 pro functionality and more, you would still need a license. I guess he should have asked about which version is expired. But something tells me they would not willingly tell that, or even blatantly lie about it (aka play 'ignorant') But still.. I dug up an old list that is quite interesting. It shows all patents surrounding mp3 will have expired in 2017. As far as I understand it anyway.

Here it is:

Please feel free to correct me if you find some mistakes, errors etc.. that I have said

Best of luck.
