0.1 DISCLAIMER AND GENERAL INFORMATION:
==================================================

You're not probably reading this... but anyway...

THIS IS AN CARDWARE UTILITY!!! Please send a postcard if you are using
this program, thank you.

DISCLAIMER:THIS SOFTWARE COMES WITH ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY! USE AT YOUR
OWN RISK!

I'm not good in writing english... Hope you understand this text... enough...

==================================================
1.0 INTRODUCTION
==================================================

MP3 PurISTiN is a user interface for LEECH CD-DA grabber and LAME
(Ain't an) MP3 encoder...

There are lot's of GUI Front-ends for grabbers and so on... but not
much usefull text mode programs... That's why I wrote this one. MP3p
suits me fine and I hope that you find this usefull also.

If you don't have grabbers or encoders to produce mp3 tunes you should
get these two at least:

Leech: http://www.sprong.auc.dk/~motr96
Lame:  http://www.sulaco.org/mp3

OS/2 executables can be also found from hobbes archive
http://hobbes.nmsu.edu

Bladeenc support is coming soon... while you're waiting it go and
download it also.
Hmmm... There won't be Bladeenc support for a long time... (a second though)


==================================================
2.0 INSTALLATION and USAGE:
==================================================

Just unzip this package to a directory you like...

leech and lame have to be in a directory which is in "path" statement

Prefer to leech and lame manuals for the installation guide and options
they have... 

Just run MP3P from a directory you want to grab and encode files...
UI is quite selfexplaining... just try what works and what doesn't

MP3 Puristin asks you some questins... First it'll give you some
default options to use... you can use them or modify them...

After that mp3p asks you cdrom drive letter and which tracks to encode.

That's all... now you can sit back and relax... and wait...
Or play some games... Some can be found from:
http://www.geocities.com/os2games


==================================================
3.0 TO-DO
==================================================

-Rewrite whole thing...
-Change the user interface more friendy... (like all in one screen)
-etc...
-Get some beer and...

IF YOU KNOW HOW TO MAKE REXX SCRIPTS... ADD INTO MY SOURCE WHAT EVER YOU LIKE, YOU'LL
GET ALL THE CREDITS AND THE COMMUNITY GETS EVEN BETTER UI!!!
Just remember to send me a copy of the modified script and some sort of description of the
new features or modifications...
