Here are some new rules and updates related to MP3 files:

  1. MP3 format updates: The MP3 format has undergone several updates over the years. The latest version is MP3-320, which offers higher quality audio and improved compression.
  2. Licensing changes: In 2020, the Fraunhofer Institute, the original creators of the MP3 format, announced that they would no longer license the MP3 format for use in new products. This means that new devices and services may not support MP3 playback.
  3. Streaming services: Many streaming services, such as Spotify, Apple Music, and Tidal, have moved away from MP3 and now use higher-quality audio formats like FLAC, ALAC, or even lossless audio.
  4. Bitrate changes: Some streaming services have increased the bitrate of their MP3 streams. For example, Spotify's standard bitrate is now 320 kbps, while Apple Music's is 256 kbps.
  5. Metadata updates: The MP3 format has also seen updates to its metadata standards. For example, the ID3v2 standard has been updated to include more fields for storing metadata, such as album art and lyrics.
  6. Security updates: As with any digital format, MP3 files can be vulnerable to security threats. To mitigate this, some devices and services may implement additional security measures, such as encryption or digital rights management (DRM) protection.
  7. Compatibility updates: With the rise of new devices and operating systems, compatibility issues may arise when playing MP3 files. For example, some devices may not support MP3 playback due to outdated firmware or software.
