==Thomson Demo mp3PRO Player==
'''Thomson Demo mp3PRO Player/Encoder''' is an unmaintained proprietary [[freeware]] media [[software]] program originally released by Thomson (now [[Technicolor SA]]) and Coding Technologies (acquired by [[Dolby Laboratories]] in 2007) which converts [[Waveform Audio File Format]] (WAV) files to mp3PRO.

The official website claims that nearly 50% more music, compared to standard [[MP3]], can be held by a storage device whether CD, hard drive, or flash drive. The quality of 64 kbit/s mp3PRO technology is stated to be in the range between 96 and 128 kbit/s MP3.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.mp3prozone.com/basics.htm |title=Mp3PRO ZONE, Players and demo player basics. |access-date=2017-07-29 |archive-date=2008-07-13 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080713034003/http://www.mp3prozone.com/basics.htm |url-status=dead }}</ref>

This demo provides playback as well as compression capabilities. This specific demo program performs one WAV file to mp3PRO conversion at a time. Batch conversion is not available. Files must be 16bit PCM/WAV 44.1&nbsp;kHz files.

The software, as well as the mp3PRO codec, has been unmaintained for more than a decade and is generally regarded as obsolete.
