About 20 to 30% report mp3lib errors, but the mp3's seems
fine. Maybe it's the ones tha mp3_check shows bad frames for. I
didn't keep track.

I ftp the mp3's from newsgroups at 160KB/s. D/l three or
four songs in the time it takes one to play. As you say, most
binaries on news groups are 192 bitrate. 'Sides, I cheat. I use
a paid service ... Giganews. Large, complete selection an they
keep binaries for a month.
While I think streamtuner is great, I don't have much use for
streamripper. Not that there's anything wrong with it. I've yet
to find an mp3 in those I ripped that contains parts (beginning
or end) of other streamed mp3's. I'm usin xmms-1.2.9-4mdk as the
default player an streamtuner-0.11.1-2mdk streamripper-1.32-3mdk
