which - more irony - is limited to 30 seconds encoding. the only useable encoder I
could find was a demo from http://www.audioactive.com which is of course win32 but
has as far as I could find out no limitations besides that is couls only create
128kBit mp3's, not more.The Fraunhofer Institut has declared all free mp3 encoder
as illegal because their programmers don't have paid license fees for the encoding
algorithm, the playing algorithm remains free, but not the encoder :-(((
