Just tested the mp3HD. This works excellent for my Studio Room, and when I want to transfer a song to my mp3 player it also contains the 320cbr version in the same file. NICE!
Again, I ask to please include this into a future release. If some people want to use APE or FLAC, then they still can. For a Media Center... wouldn't you want to play all types of media? This is the ONLY codec that has both the low level and loss-less together in one file.
I appreciate your consideration.
For those that want an easier way to try this.

To rip mp3HD files from your audio CDs you need an audio CD grabber tool with external Encoder support. For example you can use the Exact Audio Copy CD grabber. The current version of Exact Audio Copy can be downloaded at:
http://www.exactaudiocopy.de/en/index.php/resources/download/.
You can include the mp3HD encoder into the Exact Audio Copy grabber by performing the following steps:
- Open the "Compression options" from the "EAC" menu
- Go to the "External Compression" tab
- Enable the "Use external program for compression" option
- Set "Parameter passing scheme" to "User Defined Encoder"
- Write ".mp3" into the "Use file extension" field
- Type the link to your mp3hdEncoder.exe file into the
"Program, including Path, used for compression" field
- Insert the following text into the Additional command-line option field: -if %s -of %d -br %r000 -Artist "%a" -Album "%g" -Title "%t" -Year "%y" -Track "%n" -Genre "%m" -Encoder "Thomson mp3HD encoder v1.4"
- Select the desired bit rate in the "Bit rate" field.
- Uncheck the "Add ID3 tag" option
Works like a champ
