Germany’s Fraunhofer Institute for Integrated Circuits (Fraunhofer IIS) and France’s Thomson SA have added two new elements to MP3 Surround demonstration software: MP3 SX (MP3 Stereo eXtended), which enhances MP3 stereo files for multichannel playback; and Ensonido, which provides portable MP3 Surround sound using stereo headphones
