FWIW, I've noticed that stuff encoded with 8hz doesn't always sound quite right. It's very subtile, but can become annoying at times. There is another free mp3 encoder at ' http://bladeenc.home.ml.org ', with a BSDi binary (not sure if there is a FreeBSD one there or not, I haven't looked for a few months). This one has far better sound to my ears. -- Zach Heilig / Zach Heilig A Real Man's (tm) temperature guide: Spit on the ground and watch. If you tire of watching before it freezes, it is warm.
