now, this is completely off-topic and i apologize about taking part on this but i feel like saying a word here. LAME doesn't contain anything reverse-engineered. It is definitely up there with mpeg layer 3 encoders like Audio Active Production studio (which, at least few years ago, was the industry standard). >From the lame web site: Following the great history of GNU naming, LAME originally stood for LAME Ain't an Mp3 Encoder. LAME started life as a GPL'd patch against the dist10 ISO demonstration source, and thus was incapable of producing an mp3 stream or even being compiled by itself. But in May 2000, the last remnants of the ISO source code were replaced, and now LAME is the source code for a fully LGPL'd MP3 encoder, with speed and quality to rival all commercial competitors.. http://lame.sourceforge.net/about.html back to the beats, sakke -- Timing must be perfect now.
