Many software companies have a license for mp3 software applications from us (See list of Licensed Companies). Please contact them directly for their mp3/mp3PRO products or visit their web site.
Currently there are discussions with major companies supporting the mp3 format to upgrade to mp3PRO technology. We expect to be able to announce the first products that support mp3PRO technology in the near future. These products will include software players/encoders, as well as hardware players and associated technologies."
Sounds like they are using licensing to get people to stop using mp3 and start using mp3pro.

I wonder if DRM is involved
