1 year ago Frooxius had last attempted to resolve this issue in October of 2021. He is looking to use the NLayer decoder. https://github.com/naudio/NLayer
There's also some other libraries that we got to revisit, but they didn't yield any results 😦 E.g. with the CSCore, I saw that the NLayer (for decoding MP3 natively) had a bunch of updates, but it's still too unstable - it'll just randomly stop playback.
But it's good that it's moving, it means at some point it might be mature enough for our usecase: https://github.com/naudio/NLayer

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
The patents for MP3 have long since been expired (since 2012) so I see no issue with implementing MP3 into neos as a standard audio format

Describe the solution you'd like
When I import a MP3 either remotely or from my computer it should work and be converted into an audio player similar to ogg
Describe alternatives you've considered
None really unless you want to download the audio and convert it yourself which in some cases like contacting an API it's not possible unless you want to contact a middleman server
Additional context
sorry if this is a duplicate of another issue but I just found out that the patents for MP3 expired
