I'm glad to hear that 0.x is still maintained and, as it seems, still
updates. Well, but why don't you just integrate 2.x and 0.x into each
other, I mean, use 2.x as a "major brandnew rewrite" of 0.x and
simply add MP3-support (just an option to link against lame) to 2.x?
It would be up to every user if he / she wants to live with the legal
"problems" connected with MP3 or not. But where's the problem?
Does
maintaining two separate tools doing almost the same make that much
sence?

Just my 2 cents. Sorry if it might sound aggressive, wasn't
intended!
