Are we really at a point that MP3 parsing is so old-fashioned that it's not worth recommending a book which uses it for an example?

Guys, this is software not Milan Fashion Week. It's okay: those are just examples. Software still has to parse things, even in 2020!

And besides, this part of the book has gone a long way on how I've been programming for and setting up my Pirate Radio (Raspberry Pi radio). There are probably easier ways to do it, including just using the software they recommend in the first place, but then I don't get anywhere near the level of enjoyable education from it either.
