Max Sound Corporation (MAXD)

[grantastic]

Have you used the MAXD music playing app? Do you have any opinion on whether it makes your music sound better than another music player?

I don't intend to dismiss your opinion. If Trammel showed you something which you liked the sound of, then no one can say you're wrong.

The business issue is: there's lots of ways to improve how something sounds, and very few of them are patentable let alone profitable.

Even though the music industry is fertile for snake oil (e.g., "96k" recordings, 'oxygen free" cables, etc.) you still need to convince either snobby audiophiles, or naive regular people, that this program improves their music in a way which other programs cannot... which is really hard to do when so many competitors are trying to trick people exactly the same way.

Bottom line is: Trammel's patent solves a problem that doesn't exist. And you can't make money off of that.
