Ah. Well, of *course* it's not going to work if you use Xing's encoder. ;)

At the moment, the included VT-OS (which is open source, but pretty limited);
there is a Linux flash image you can replace it with but I'll probably try to
get my interface working in the Helio emulator before flashing it with Linux.
They include a lot of stuff in the default image that I don't really want to
include for a single purpose cuttle cart jukebox.

Yes, it should. I can't say it will be till I try it, though :)

MP3's end up being anywhere from 10 to 30 times larger than bins, yes, while
still being maybe 1/16th the size of red book audio (since you can make mono
mp3's) but that's the whole point of this exercise. All 1500 roms converted
to mp3 at a fairly high bitrate came to about 200MB; uncompressed, the bins
are around 16MB. In a ZIP file they're less than 8MB, so I have hope of
getting them all onto the Helio when I do this.
