  24. $F  If you're into making MP3s you probably know what this is. Nine months   4$
  25. $F  ago we released the first version of this codec. Now we proudly give     4$
  26. $F  birth to the second. :)                                                  4$
  27. $F                                                                           4$
  28. $F  Basicly, this codec allows you to encode MP3s using external programs    4$
  29. $F  like SoundForge, CoolEdit, Acid, Audiograbber, Wavelab and many more.    4$
  30. $F  Features : Same high quality as Opticom Producer and Audioactive MP3,    4$
  31. $F  upper rates of 320, 256, 224, 192, 160, & 128kBit/s, normal or HQ mode,  4$
  32. $F  5% to 12% speed increase over Opticom Producer (HQ modes), selectable    4$
  33. $F  Stereo and Joint Stereo modes and full compatibility with Win 95/98/NT.  4$

  38. $F                                                                           4$
  39. $F  Opinions : Opticom Producer Pro and Audioactive have proven to have the  4$
  40. $F  best sound quality for Mp3 encoding - and this codec is exactly the same 4$
  41. $F  as those two in that aspect. However, those encoders have no selectable  4$
  42. $F  stereo modes (which can sometimes cause flanging.) With this addition,   4$
  43. $F  the Radium codec has become more flexible for all types of MP3 encoding. 4$

  47. Installing :
  48. 1) unzip and run "setupl3c.exe"
  49.  
  50. Q : How do I make MP3s with this codec?
  51. A : The codec is similar to a driver .. you use it inside any codec capable
  52.     program like SoundForge. First, you go into the 'Save as' menu of your
  53.     audio program and choose 'Mpeg layer-3' for format.
  54.  
  55. Q : I want to use a codec for a commercial project. Is the Radium codec legal?
  56. A : In short, no. The Radium codec is derived from software owned by Fraunhofer.
  57.     The closest legal equivalent would be to purchase Audioactive Production
  58.     Studio (www.audioactive.com)  If you use software regularly or for any
  59.     commercial projects you should ALWAYS purchase a legal copy!
  60.  
  61. For a full FAQ on the Radium codec please see the file 'Rdmp3faq.txt' 
  62.  
  63. Thank-yous :
  64. Well done Ignoramus.. i think this represents some of the 'best' type of
  65. cracking... getting inside a program and changing it for the better. :)
  66. Huge thanks to Dense and GROO for their many hours of testing, comparing
  67. and explaining.
