style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">I am a patent lawyer helping one of
the major record companies consider whether to offer FLAC-compressed files as a
higher grade alternative to AAC, MP3, etc. Could I chat with you on the
phone for 15 minutes some time this week? I suspect that a short call with
you will go a lot farther than several hours of reading patents. If you're
available for a call, please let me know at what number and when
to call. Thanks much.</SPAN></SPAN></DIV>
