Overview of the MP3/Audio Software & Utilities being features @ MP3 MediaWorld:
 | Xingtech's encoder is a very good piece of software. It is very fast, encoding a file at somewhere around a quarter of the playing time (on a Pentium 266 system). The program is also very easy to use and supports many different profiles (different quality/bitrates). This is a commercial program and no test version is available, but it is worth the money. This version encodes up to 20kHz (older versions didn't), so the quality is good enough for everybody. It also supports variable bit rate encoding (VBR). |

 | AudioCatalyst is a great combination of a fast CD-ripper (Audiograbber) and a fast encoder (Xing MP3 Encoder). The program is very easy to use and has many neat features like CDDB (Compact Disc DataBase) for getting the name of the tracks automatically. From version 1.5 and up, the encoder supports encoding up to 20 kHz and is also capable of encoding VBR files. A demo is available, and if you have the old version (1.x) you can upgrade to the new version for free! |

 | URLBlaze is a multi file search system integrating the power of verified web search and the robustness of its decentralized, peer-to-peer search system. Rather then giving access to your hard-drive and share files, URLBlaze shares the URLs of files you have downloaded using your browser or download manager. This new technology is called URL Sharing. URLBlaze V.2 also does a parallel search over many major search engines over the net to help you find the file you want. Every http search result is verified! |
