the heavy lifting was done by Karlheinz Brandenburg, while at Fraunhofer Institute. This being month after month of listening tests using wide varieties of program material, narrowing down the various problems until they got something that basically worked, as what we have today (doesn't really work for me, but most people seem happy).
Also of interest, the same people then worked on improvements and came up with AAC. By then, the genie was out of the bottle, their free mp3 encoders and players had been hacked and copied and mp3 took over the world as a standard (and even Apple had to add it to the ipod).
It is a fascinating story and it provides a good overview of the massive changes. I do miss my record stores still.
