Yep, the announcment made my day as well :-)
MP3 support is great to have, so many tracks reach me as MP3 these days.
Mackie Contro support is great , clip freeze is incredibly cool.
The best thing about it: I'm sure ableton will implement these features in a supersexy way, and not just to have that feature.

Live 5: VST Midi effects, MP3 and right click menus
RE: the Mp3
youare right about the market forces.
obviously there are eleventy billion bedroom DJs in the world compared only 1,205 electronic musicians in the world
, so it makes sense to accomodate the DJs . Just look at how many Djs ,or people who perform Live in a DJish manner, are on this forum. Good luck to the Abes in capturing this market where Traktor has frankly stagnated all over it for years.
I'm no DJ, but I bet I will use the clip offset functions, I definitely use the new warp mode and I may even use the MP3 bits and go out and torment the world with my record collection now that it is all done for me by the new functions. Ah, no skillz required!
that last bit was trollbait btw !
