I'm amazed at all the sh$* that's flying over mp3s, napster, >etc. and just in from slashdot: "LAME, which stands recursively for "LAME ain't an MP3 Encoder", might have to change its name. They have finally replaced the last bits of functionality of the ISO dist10 encoder code. Previously, Fraunhofer closed down all encoders based on the ISO mp3 encoder code (free or not), and LAME used GNU patching as a loophole to continue development. What this news means is that we now have a fully open-sourced (LGPL) mp3 encoder that Fraunhofer can't take away. Congratulations to the developers of LAME! " This should solve bladeenc's problems.... the non-fraunhofer code will take over now. It's faster and better too...
