[Audacity-devel] MP2 (MPEG1 Layer II) support for Audacity

[Markus M. <me...@me...>]

Hi everyone,

I recently talked to a person who wants to read and write MP2 files with
Audacity. Now reading MP2 files is no problem, since libmad can read MP2
files just well -- infact, it's just a matter of adding the MP2
extension to the file dialog (I'll probably commit that later today).
But for writing MP2 files, the normal LAME_ENC.DLL does not work. The
person, however, claims that he took MP2ENC.DLL from CDEx (which is
based on the TooLame MP2 encoder) and chose it when he was prompted for
LAME_ENC.DLL --- voilà, MP2 exporting worked just fine. So would anyone
object if I hack MP3Export.cpp so it can support exporting MP2 over
MP2ENC.DLL? This would add another button to the preferences ("Find MP2
library").
