I dont actually use BSD much right now (basically not at all :( i lack hard drive space and I still want to play my games) but anyway more on topic i would reccomend ogg vorbis rather than MP3 for two reasons 1 Quality is generally considered better with ogg for a given bitrate and 2 It is open source while the "official" MP3 codec requires royalties Yes Bladeenc does do MP3 but I think that being reverse engineered may also penalize quality. http://vorbis.com/ --- Lute Mullenix <lute@cableone.net> wrote: > Hi, > > I'm in the process of copying some songs from tape to my computer. > These > are old demo tapes made by local bands and pretty much one of a kind > items.
