zypper se mp3

Gave me a nice list of mp3-related programs on my openSUSE system.

Scan the list, and I see "LAME - Lame Ain't an Mp3 Encoder"

I wonder what that does:

zypper if lame

Oh, look, it's "an education tool to be used for learning about MP3 
encoding.  LAME is an educational tool to be used for learning about MP3 
encoding.  The goal of the LAME project is to use the open source model 
to improve the psycho acoustics, noise shaping and speed of MP3.  Another 
goal of the LAME project is to use these improvements for the basis of a  
patent free audio compression codec for the GNU project."

In other words, an encoder.

So add another 20 seconds to figure all that out. ;-)
