Larry, Let me know if I understand you correctly. You're talking about the decoder Winamp uses to play specifically MP3s?Well, I don't play many MP3s. I rip all my CDs to AACPlus, not mP3. But I do have some MP3s, downloaded from online, and I would appreciate your sending me the MAD MP3 decoder, so I can run my own comparisons. Thanks.
Blessed Be, Dana D. S. Leslie, née C. R.
