Talk:MP3Concept

Suggested corrections and improvements

I'm not going to touch this myself (conflict of interest), but here are some things to do:

• It's not a bundle application, it's an old-fashioned single-file CFM Carbon application. It runs fine in Mac OS 9.
• The purpose was to show that a file could be a valid document (an MP3 file in this case) and at the same time a valid application.
• The article should mention that the whole thing would have remained completely unnoticed except for the actions of Intego, for which they were roundly criticised.

• The most complete analysis freely available on the web came from TidBITS: http://db.tidbits.com/article/7636
• MWJ had more technical detail, but it's subscription based.
