mp3-encoder
There has been some discussion about this as part of
the recent 'flame war' about no-free.
In short, due to patents covering mp3 encoding debian
will NOT have any mp3-encoder software in the distro.
It could be put in non-us IF a site could be found in
a country that thumbed it's nose at software patents.
Then operators of mirrors in other countries would
have to watch what they mirrored. However you can
still find tarballs of lame and bladeenc on the net
and install them yourself. They may be listed in
tucows or freshmeat. Bladeenc is faster but not as
high quality as lame (YMMV). I have been using
bladeenc, but switched to lame for low bitrate
encodings.
