🙏 Thank you very much, @lel-bot! I've added it to the main README.md along with the other samples.

👋 Hello again, @lel-bot!

It looks like your GitHub account was created ex profeso for submitting this recording, but most of the people with enough skills to use this project should already have one. 🤔 My divergent mind led me to believing that your contribution might be part of some elaborate joke, so here you're the opportunity of proving that I'm right:

Parum premunt revelare modicum mysterium... #### Encryption The following messages have been encrypted with [`age`](https://github.com/FiloSottile/age) using your last name in lowercase as the password. If you're able to decrypt any of them with a single try... _magnum mysterium solvitur_. 😅 #### First option ```bash age --decrypt <

If I was wrong, please forgive me. I assume the risk of spooking you with my security-minded pastimes because I had good reasons to believe that I could be right.

Anyhow, I appreciate a lot your contribution. 🎉

Well here's a funny story,

I got into python, like, a couple weeks ago, and luckily your program is very easy to use, so my recently created account is simply a result of these two things.

I was initially looking at these messages in gmail, so the encrypted text was double spaced, so to speak. I had to encrypt a couple files myself to figure out that there isn't supposed to be any spaces between lines.

Alas, I can't decrypt the files. I'm not sure what you think my "last name in all lowercase" is, but it appears our definitions differ lol.

Thanks again for featuring me. I mostly made the blobs sing it because I really like the piece and wanted to hear it again in more than 96kbps on some YT upload, and spotted that I could submit it, so I did on a whim.

First of all, sorry for the major blunder and welcome to GitHub! 🎉 It was a false positive due to a unusual chain of coincidences.

Actually, I wrote this project approximately four months ago with the sole purpose of hiding some messages for a friend with some undocumented steganography techniques, but I finally got carried away and chose to repurpose it for more general use cases.

With a newly created account and a title like O Magnum Mysterium, I couldn't help but think that it was him challenging me back with more hidden data. Moreover, I also used this project yesterday as a documentation example when talking to a developer who, coincidentally, has an academic background related to music and audio research. As you can guess, I wouldn't be surprised at all if both of them decided to contribute a song in the last 24 hours. 😈

Glad to read that! For me, ease of use appreciations are very high on the scale of compliments. 😊

Effectively, you weren't any of the usual suspects; sorry for the blunder. 🙈

🙏 Thank you very much again for your contribution! It sounds really well, at least for the blob opera standards. 👂 👍

@lel-bot, I've spent a few minutes documenting the rudiments of blob opera steganography for the sake of completeness. 😸 I was unable to find the right moment to sit down and document everything, and you gave me a good reason to do it.
