Mp3Make3 Version 3.00 
=================================

HISTORIE
=========

Mp3Make3 is based from the GTK based mp3make 
with the patch - I deliverer for mp3id3 tags !
No more GTK code is included ...

Mp3Make3 makes you able to start a real background-job,
which grabs your audio-cd (incl. cddb) 
and creates MP3 (incl. mp3id3 tags) !

Mp3Make3 uses the programs:
	- cdparanoia  { to grab the audio cd }
	- lame        { to encode mp3 - best and fastest with 192kbs }
	- libcddb	  { to get the cddbb information .. www.freedb.org }
	- libcdio     { to access the cd }

Mp3Make3 gets rid of xmcd, cause xmcd skipped the freedb.org support !
