You know, I love the program since the first 0.x versions
I enjoy a lot the new -z switch but these days I found a file that generated a bunch of warnings (there were no warnings without -z switch).
*** '07 - Time Canon.mp3' -> '07 - Time Canon-vbr-z.mp3'

This file was reportad as Xing(old) by EncSpot.
The -i switch produced the following output:

Bitrate distribution:
256: 289,3261
Largest frame uses 6608 bits = 826 bytes = 252.962500 kbps
Smallest bitrate for CBR is 256
Anyhow, a new vbr file was created and it seemed to be OK (checked again with -i switch).
I don't know if it's safe to use the new file though.
Well, I could live with it, it is just one file, but if you are interesting what caused the problems I could send it to you.
From my experience I know that the (ex)perl programmers don't have a rest untill the last issue is fixed .
