List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: Hello listers, I'm looking for suggestions for converting real audio files to mp3. On approach I thought of was to pipe the output of vsound into lame. Vsound would run trplayer on the input file and the output would run through an mp3 encoder such as lame. The drawback with this approach is that is plays the file in real time which results in a slow conversion. I'm looking for other suggestions. Thanks Chris -- The Moon is Waxing Crescent (31% of Full)
