Fraunhofer's legacy (Score 1)

I write this from a wholly sideways perspective, because I have been using mp3 technology for so long. However, it's in the form of using L.A.M.E. ( Lame Ain't an Mp3 Encoder ) to process my audio recordings for my band & my personal singer-songwriter drizzle. And, since LAME denies being an mp3 encoder, I guess for me, it's always been a somewhat vexing question of whether or not I ever made an mp3 file in the first place. In any case, special thanks to him & the other fine people at the Fraunhofer Institute, which, I guess now that I think about it, might be a made-up fairy tale as well, but no matter. Thanks again, Dr. Fraunhofer.
