British inventor Kane Kramer came up with the world's first MP3 player in 1979

Cool, except that the mp3 algorithms weren't invented until 1992.

Kane Kramer's apparent argument is that he invented the MP3 player concept... to accept his theory, then Chester Gould invented the Cell Phone... on the other hand, Arthur C. Clarke IS credited with inventing the communication satellite, although he never built one and Kramer actually built a solid state player that could hold ONE (1) song.
