There are quite a few ready made "glue" programs at the moment.
        - grip (recommended)
        - mp3c (ncurses based)
        - many more.  The problem is finding the one the works exactly the way
you want it - which is why lots of people seem to write their own.

Which mp2 encoder do you use? or is it hardware?
Anyone wanna help me start the "TooLame" project to speedup/improve the layer2
part of the ISO encoder?

I would *looove* a portable mp3 recorder with decent quality.  I've been
craving a minidisc for years, but can't justify the outlay.
A p166 doesn't cut it realtime for encoding with lame.  But xing will do it.
What's the lowest processor that'll do realtime with LAME?

later
