$F  is they will all sound the same since they all use the same encoding     4$

How to install :
1) Run 'SETUPAA.EXE' -- AAPS is cracked/regged and ready to use.. enjoy!
2) If you want to use the AAPS preview function, run 'setupl3c.exe'

Note : First time you start AAPS the splash screen will say 'lite' - dont
worry, it will show 'PRO' every time after the first.

Nice one igNorAMUS :)

Review from Taurus :
Audioactive Production Studio is suprisingly fast. On my 266 i encoded a 4min
wave file into a 128kbps mp3 in less than 2.5mins. But the best part is the
high end stays very clean, nothing gets washed out at all and the output is
true to the source. Also there's some nice support for 8 to 256kbps bitstreams
and control over cpu priority. By far the best mp3 encoder I have ever seen.

Review from igNorAMUS : 
This is IMHO the best MP3 encoder you can have. It uses the Frauhofer IIS
encoding routines - the same like MP3 Producer V2.1.  That means the quality
is great. But unlike Producer even the GUI rocks.

------------------------------
Some helful notes about MP3 CODECs :
There are a few 'flavors' of the Fraunhofer IIS external codec -
Fraunhofer IIS MPEG Layer-3 Codec decode        (decode only function)
Fraunhofer IIS MPEG Layer-3 Codec Advanced      (up to 56 kbps stereo)
Fraunhofer IIS MPEG Layer-3 Codec Professional  (up to 128 kbps stereo)
Fraunhofer Layer3 Codec Pro - Radium optimized  (up to 256 kbps stereo)

(You can see which ones you have installed in Win95 by going to
Control Panel > Multimedia > Advanced > Audio Compression Codecs)

Audioactive doesnt need an external codec installed to make mp3s, however
it DOES need some external codec installed if you want to use the 'preview'
feature. With this Audioactive setup we've included the Radium optimized
codec release ('Setupl3c.exe') -- (instead of the low quality decode only
codec Audioactive usually comes with.) And this will also allow you to
encode MP3 using programs like WinDAC, Audiograbber and Soundforge. Enjoy!
