Re: the Overlooked Problem

Streamripper does not encode to mp3. It only decodes, it wouldn't even decode the audio if it didn't have to look for silence. anyway, it's the encodeing that has a license, not the decoding.

As for using LAME, I used mpglib which is part of the LAME distro for the unix version. I'm using xaudio for the windows version. I would prefer to use mpglib as it's GPL'd, however it's quality is not up to snuff.

Re: the Overlooked Problem

Actually, decoding needs a license too. As does any MPEG related product.

But if you take out all the decoding and are only copying the MP-3 from one place to the other, you should be fine.

As far as the legality of mpglib, its makers are only flying under the radar for now.
