24 days passed, ZERO feedback, either I will break the silence or it won't happen at all

The good things:

+ it seems to work mostly
+ nice "GUI" (see shot)
+ there should be acoustic quality improvements (= less loss), unverified by me

Less good:

- faulty filenames, BLAH.WAV should become BLAH.MP3 and not BLAH.WAV.MP3, MP3 is always audio, there is no JUNK.BMP.MP3 or BLOAT.EXE.MP3 (but at least here the obvious - just giving output name - is sufficient to get it) (see shot)
- decoding doesn't abort (-> hangs) if there is not sufficient space for destination file (see shot)
