"Once that information is passed through the analog-to-digital conversion circuitry (and, if appropriate, compression through the DSP), the patent no longer
refers to this finished product as “processed sound . . . signals” anymore, choosing instead to usually refer to it as some form of “data” or “digital” information. "

That passage right there, and the confusion over "processed sound" vs. "data" or "digital"

is a pivotal point in her decision making. This is the end of the line as far as processing the sound signals.....the next step is flash storage.

She then went beyond that due to the confusion splitting the claim into two separate conditions. If you want to call it that.

?

I can appreciate her dilemma and her focus....but technically splitting because of the confusion for the above passage...
