RE: First MP3 results in - Tim eats his words!

["Andy Powell" <Andy@xxxxxxx>]

I must admit I've just (literally today) started using CDEX and the LAME
encoder that comes with it. The tracks from the 10 CDs I brought today have
been encoded as VBR with a minimum rate of 160 and a max of 320. I'm
currently feeding Winamp on a laptop downstairs, via wireless networking
into my Sony STR-DB925 - and I'm impressed, so much so that I've decided to
start from scratch and re-encode all my CDs again ready for the
DDARs...Errm Mark they can handle VBRs right, i'm not wasting my time am
I???
