Sure, but it does the job to decode as well.  I just was giving the example
of what I use.  I use lame because I rip my CDs with it.

Hmm, I don't recall.  I spent a lot of time setting up my current scripts
to work, and once they did I stopped caring.  If it's not broke, don't fix

creates mp3 or mp1 files.  Bah!
