    -Why does LameXP use LAME v3.99 rather than v3.98?
    +What does the LAME algorithm quality option do exactly?
    +
    +The sound quality of MP3 files is influenced primarily by the chosen bitrate (ABR/CBR mode) or by the chosen
    +VBR quality level. These options control the "file size -vs- quality" trade-off. That means, you can get a
    +better quality at the cost of a bigger file (increased bitrate); or you can get a smaller file at the cost of
    +reduced sound quality (decreased bitrate). The "algorithm quality" is yet another way to control the quality.
    +
    +While the chosen bitrate (or VBR level) influences the resulting bitrate, the algorithm quality does not!
    +Instead, the algorithm quality controls the "encoding speed -vs- quality" trade-off. That means, you can get
    +a better sound quality at the cost of increased encoding time (higher algorithm quality); or you can get a
    +faster encoding speed at the cost of reduced sound quality (lower algorithm quality). Note that while the
    +algorithm quality does influence the encoding speed, it does NOT influence the decoding speed at all. Also
    +note, again, that the chosen algorithm quality does NOT influence the resulting file size at all.
    +
    +The LAME algorithm quality is an integral value between "0" (best/slowest) and "9" (worst/fastest), but NOT
    +all possible values will currently have a distinct effect! More specifically, the following table applies:
    +
    +For CBR and ARB modes: +For (new) VBR mode only: +
    +The "algorithm quality" options available in LameXP will be mapped to "0", "3", "7" and "9", respecitly. Note
    +that option "0" (best quality) is only very slightly better than "3" (high quality), but significant slower!
