When I wanted to encode a live mix to put in myplay.com I basically recorded
it and encoded it in one big mp3 file and then split it into smaller files,
there are frame errors at the start of each track - but the way that myply
reassembles things on public streams meant that these were concatenated into a
seamless mix...
mp3 doesn't handle mix albums well though...
