I just joined this list yesterday - so I don't know the context of
this message - Has the BBC dropped MP3 from radio broadcasts?
I noticed this in the last few days. Is it a permanent switch?

Does anyone have this working on Windows? I talked to Phil about 18
months ago about this. Only worked on *nix. So I use faad instead -
but it is very cpu intensive.

Does anyone know of a free AAC(ADTS) to AAC converter - to play on an
ipod (yes I know). Better quality than AAC to MP3 conversion?
