Any plans for mpeg 2 support?  The latest mpeg 2 encoding is supposedly
about twice as good as mp3.  I find mp3 is often not very good--
particularly on music mastered for CD.  Anyone know of a good windows
mp2
encoder?

I'm bit confused, isn't mp3 = mpeg3 - Audio Layer Only 

As in progressive :
mpeg1 -> mpeg2 -> mpeg3 (the video compression of 3 is (as far as I
know) not yet developed, so Mpeg3_Audio_only = mp3)

mpeg3 is improved version of mpeg2, right or wrong?
Or is it that improved compression of mpeg3 produses poorer audio
quality than mpeg2.
