Subject:MP3 decoding/MakeCD

Hey there...

Last week I tried burning MP3s on-the-fly to an audio CD with MakeCD
3.2C and my new Cyberstorm PPC. I was given a warning that without the
appropriate setup I might not be able to do an on-the-fly burn. I tried
it anyway, and sure enough I made a temporary coaster. [It was a CDRW!
:) ] So I downloaded the PPC version of mpega.library, and now MakeCD
INSISTS on decoding the MP3s to hard drive into raw files first, then
burning the raw files to CD. Is there a setting I'm missing? I have
noticed, though, that when the MP3s are decoded into raw format, they
decode just as fast as a normal file would burn to a CD at 2x. [actually
MakeCD calculated it at 3.1x to 3.5x...]

Any suggestions?? If I have to decode the MP3s first, that's no
problem...just would like to save the step if possible....
