I removed hints to Holger Dors from the About Box. Holger helped me to create the idea for this site. However, he is too busy himself to contribute any code. Please watch out his incredible RazorLame project on Holger's homepage. RazorLame is a Windows frontend for the LAME MP3 encoder. It's .Free and it comes with full source code.
