Will there ever be a good mp3 converter for Winamp?

[kolokolo]

For all file conversions between mp3 of different bitrates, I use RealJukebox. However, I would prefer using Winamp, provided there is a good mp3 conversion program, but there is currently none.

Why would someone want a mp3 to mp3 conversion through Winamp? Because DSP effects will be applied to the output file, which in my opinion, an IMPORTANT feature to be integrated into Winamp 3. Thank you.

Thank you. It would be kind if you would explain how to use it.... Whenever I press play, the plug-in automatically makes a new file instead of playing the song. In other words, how do I turn it off? Thanks.

in winamp2 preferences, plugins-> output-> select waveout plugin instead, not disk writer.
