So the question is - do we remove mp3 support from Squeak now or wait 
for a letter from FhG/Thomson?  Both options really suck, I hate to say. 
 Glad I'm only about 20 CDs into (the 4th round of) ripping and encoding 
my entire 500+ CD collection.  I'll be switching to Ogg Vorbis at this 
point (which also sounds slightly better to my ears for the same bitrate).
