Something that shipped...

Here is an actual BeOS application that we shipped. Using the questionable "Ultra" branding, it was a nice, functional MP3 encoder. It offered some basic queue and notification features and exposed some encoder flags that seem pretty technical. I can't remember for sure, but it may have used various backends, including one written by Jon Watte. of BeOS MediaKit fame.

A large chunk of my music collection was encoded using this program. Some of the newer codecs make it tempting to go back and reencode at a higher bitrate though.
