mp1 or mp2 ?

Believe so, google would probably tell you, or Wiki.

 

[Gozzer]

Bloody good question, which needs to be answered before mp4 comes along.

Which leads us to - was there an MI1- MI4 before MI5?

 

[Gozzer]

Ellis, you are on fire!

I know the answer, but it is a secret, so can't tell you.

MPEG-1 Audio Layer I, commonly abbreviated to MP1, is one of three audio codecs included in the MPEG-1 standard. While supported by most media players, the codec is considered largely outdated, and replaced by MP2 or MP3.

For files only containing MP1 audio, the file extension .mp1 is used.

MP1 uses a comparatively simple sub-band coding, using 32 sub-bands.[1]

MPEG-1 layer I was also used by the Digital Compact Cassette format, in the form of the PASC audio compression codec. Because of the need of a steady stream of frames per second on a tape-based medium, PASC uses the rarely used (and under-documented) padding bit in the MPEG header to indicate that a frame was padded with 32 extra 0-bits (four 0-bytes) to change a short 416-byte frame into 420 bytes. The varying frame size only occurs when a 44.1kHz 16 bits stereo audio signal is encoded at 384 kilobits per second, because the bitrate of the uncompressed signal is not an exact multiple of the bitrate of the compressed bit stream.

Was there a GOD 'before' GOD?

Yes, but I like to myself to myself, so please don't tell anybody.
