I found out from the forum on the site that the creator is being charged
by the owners of Fraunhofer a pretty substantial amount per mp3 codec.
With the version that is now beta there will be a $9 charge. The
version here is the last entirely freeware. It's still the best
converter out there as it stands now.
Thanks for the info about the upcoming change. I downloaded v. 1.01
Looks like a LFW version may not be available for download later -
redistribution is limited to individuals (at best) (the provisions seem
to contradict each other).
The whole EULA is copied below.
