Sorry, I didn't mean to throw out conflicting info. I was trying to
play devil's advocate for keeping MP3 encoding in mythmusic. I
currently use a a couple different windows based solution for encoding
my CDs into MP3s. I use mythmusic on occasion to listen to those
MP3s, I do not use mythmusic personally to encode into MP3 although I
like that the feature exists. Like I said before, I personally won't
be upset if it's removed, but I don't necessarily think it's a good
idea. Even though I do not personally depend on the feature, I was
just trying to get some more information about your thought process on
it. Not trying to argue with you on it... I'll wait for more
important things to argue about. :)
