I looked up the comment made by CompNetTeach, The comment is below for those who are interested. Also, It was fun to go back and see comments by our old friend, Giovanni. I also don't want a program with 117 registry entries. Thanks Ric!

A Word Of Warning:

Though this appears to be intended as a "portable" application, it most certainly is not. In fact, I would recommend avoiding this application entirely. MP3toolkit has a very intrusive registry footprint, and will install its own version of several OCX & DLL files without checking if a newer version is already installed - thus possibly breaking other applications. The uninstall does appear to properly reverse the registry changes (about 90% sure, because of the large quantity), but it will only do so if the program is immediately uninstalled - as time passes & other apps are installed, some changes cannot be reversed.

MP3toolkit is an attempt to put a front end on several individually developed modules built on freeware / open source libraries & tools. As a result, settings do not get passed between modules, quality control varies widely, and there is an uneveness to the user interface. An additional result is that there are two LAME encoders, part of the BASS library & Monoton_DS (very intrusive install) being used when one set of libraries would be sufficent and the proper development approach. Using the original freeware tools won't give you a nice GUI and requires more manual intervention, but it will generally give you more control and thus better audio results.

A rather scary example of what not to do in software development... Unfortunately appropriate as Halloween is coming up...
