i cant understand that statement how can you say we dont need this?

i would love a program i could throw all my mp3s at and have it recode, normalise esspecially if i didn't have to dedicate a pc for a day to do it.

as much as they can do to possibly improve PC usage is great (there is already a cuda based h.264 encoder)

this is the most exciting thing to come on to xtreme news in a long time have fun Fugger (and yes open source would be great!!)
