[MP3 ENCODER] Future Directions

[mikecheng]

Hi all,

        just wanted to spark a bit of thought on some of the future direction
of lame.  This occured to me after I read that for the update to lame3.30 we
can now do ID3 tags

Consider the following ideas related to mp3 encoding
- CD-ripping (CD paranoia)
- resampling (sox)
- ID3 tags
- CDDB lookups
- mp3 databases

Should these features be part of LAME? Or should these be considered "support
materials" and use some other program (like GRIP) to combine all these
functions?

I remember somebody saying about unix programs that each program only does one
thing, but does it well.

I'm not advocating or dissenting from features being included in LAME, i just
wondered what other people think.

later
mike
