Thanks much -- it seems to be working now. I had never heard of the
mad before -- learn something new every day. This list is very nice and
helpful.
The MAD decoder was actually always well known for its very high
accuracy in decoding. But I suppose other decoders finally catched up
to it, so these days I suppose mpg123 might offer the same quality as
MAD. Not that anyone tested though (as far as I'm aware.)
