If you have access to a Windows box, Winamp v5.1 can rip CD's to AAC+. I can't imagine why you would want to do that normally, but it would be useful for comparisons.

Also note that while q-2 is a new mode that is added, the tunings also improve the higher modes. karl.

Windows 98 is totally obsolete and useless. WindowsXP is a completely different architecture for just about everything except the name Windows. You owe it to yourself to check out WindowsXP, even though it is subsidized by the "eveil empire." :) -g.
