You're certainly not alone, but we can't do it until there is a legal way to
do so. I do know of a potential solution in the works, which will provide a
completely legal, licensed MP3 codec (yes, encoding and decoding) for a tiny
fee. That will be a massive help. The technical users among us will still be
able to install non-kosher Free Software MP3 packages, and there's not a lot
we can do to make that easier without being on shaky legal ground.

Thanks,
