I don't mind waiting for as long as it takes - surely it is better to
wait then to rush with RC version if it's not ready. These things take
time, I understand that. But public should be also kept updated,
because if it isn't, then all kinds of ugly rumors and
half-informations start to spread and then more time needs to be spent
to undo the damage...

As a side note, www.mp3licensing.com has been updated/redesigned. The
price-list is now more detailed - for example, for mp3PRO C++ codec
source code Thomson wants $500.000 (!) and $250.000 for mp3 source
code. Those prices are non-creditable, meaning you have to pay all
up-front...
