I ported the unix "musicin" to mint/tos a couple of years ago.
It takes a .wav or raw sample data file and encodes it to mp2.

However, on a standard falcon, with fpu, it will take nearly 24 hours for
a normal-length song to encode. And without the fpu.. well expect a weeks
job or so.

I do belive that Daniel Pettersson have enhanced the porting a bit,
compiled with newer gcc (better optimizing) and included a patch by noring
that speeds up a bit, I would think his port is 25% faster than mine.

I can mail my porting if you like, or, I could try to get hold of the port
by Daniel.
