High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! WinPlay3 was the first real-time MP3 audio player for PCs running Windows, both 16-bit (Windows 3.1) and 32-bit (Windows 95). Previous to this, audio compressed with MP3 had to be decompressed prior to listening. It was released by Fraunhofer IIS ("Institute for Integrated Circuits"), creators of the MP3 format, on September 9, 1995.[citation needed] Since then, the Fraunhofer Society has removed any trace and mention of WinPlay3 from their web sites. The program has become popular thanks to the warez scene. The first warez group to bring WinPlay3 to attention of a wider audience was Compress Da Audio. They released CDs, with WinPlay3 included, on several warez FTP sites. Rabid Neurosis emerged shortly afterwards, and then the scene exploded.
