MP3 uses lossy compression to remove frequencies that are "masked". Some of the algorithms used in it are patented by Thompson and the Franhofer (sp?) Institute. They say that only commercial users (ie software and hardware sellers) have to license it - players that are given away for free do not have to be licensed. However, this is also what [Unisys] said about the [GIF] patent...
A free, alternative format is OggVorbis.
