on Ubuntu 7.10:
gsewell@desktop:~$ apt-cache search mp3 library| wc -l
88
gsewell@desktop:~$ apt-cache search mp3 encoder| wc -l
30
There's more than enough there to be looking at. :D
I haven't got much experience of creating mp3 files with anything other
than lame, which just so happens to be in that list anyway. :D
64Studio is a Debian based system, so you can always add Debian and/or
Ubuntu repositories to your /etc/apt/sources.list file (as detailed in
http://64studio.com/faq_user) to get access to other software not
directly provided by 64Studio... be aware that you might want to read
around on the topic to make non-64Studio repositories "less favourable"
so that if a package is provided by 64Studio, *that* one gets installed
in preference to Debian/Ubuntu's (or whatever).
Hope this helps.
Good luck.
Grant.
