It has been a long time favourite for me, too - unfortunately development
stopped
about 2 !? years ago and I would call it a "discontinued" product. I think
it isn`t
worth that money - encoding quality sucks (at least 128kbit sucks, in
comparison to
other encoders)

since I use CDEX oder EAC, I don`t need payware anymore :)

Roland
