mpegaudio (the encoder) I beleive is already a port as well as maplay, if not
let me know. I have personnelly digitized 578 tracks and placed them on a 3gb
HD that I randomly play from, my own personalized jukebox, saved me the trouble
of having to keep swapping CD's in and out of my machine :) Its truly awesome,
I leave a maplay running in the background almost always, along with xfqcam
doing my security camera work, and netscape and a half dozen 80x24 windows,
with zero problems on my PP200. I did have to nice -10 the maplay process so
it wouldnt be starved :)
