$F  The QDesign MP2 ACM codec supports audio encoding in realtime, without   4$
$F  the need for hardware. This allows you to stream MPEG audio "live" or    4$
$F  deliver on-demand using Microsoft DirectShow or Netscape Media Server.   4$
$F  Info at http://www.qdesign.com/products/MPEG_ACM.htm      (Retail $79)   4$

$F  Opinion : Since many good Mp3 encoders are out, why would anyone use an  4$
$F  MP2 encoder? Mainly because it can be used for realtime applications     4$
$F  where speed is essential. (For most general applications however, the    4$
$F  Audioactive or Radium codec is still the best.)  As for the quality,     4$
$F  Ive found that a 2.6Mb Qdesign MP2 (192 kbit/s) is roughly comparable    4$
$F  to the quality of a 1.7Mb AAPS (Audioactive) Mp3 (128 kbit/s). However,  4$
$F  Audioactive encoded in 1:15 and the Qdesign Mp2 encoded in 8 seconds.    4$

Installing :
1) unzip and run "setupq98.exe" if you have Windows 9x or run
  "setupqNT.exe" if you have Windows NT
2) To use the codec... If your saving from an audio program like SoundForge,
   choose the 'SaveAS' menu then select "format : QDesign MPEG"

We hope Radium releases are used to learn software and become better informed.
If you use it for more than this then please buy it.

known bugs : On a few systems the Qdesign codec didnt show up in all menus.
Since these installers are not cracked or altered from the originals, this
would be an issue for registered users as well.
