a question for PC mp3 listeners; similar to past threads - but in fact 
different!

I have a CD full of songs encoded with Audiocatalyst (for Mac) and I put 
them on an ISO 9660 formatted CD to play on Win95/98..  WinAmp seems to 
have a nice enough interface and set of features, so I went with that and 
when I played the mp3s they sounded *Horrible* (see Brock Suter's post of 
Xing audio nightmares)..  I figured it had something to do with the VBR 
feature, but supposedly WinAmp (2.10 is it??)  supports that, but my 
beautiful 160k 44khz mp3s sound like 28.8 RealAudio files!! help!  Is 
there a PC player with nice Playlist/ID tag features that can play 
Audiocatalyst ripped files well, or a plug in for Winamp that will enable 
it to do the same?  All I know is the newest MacAmp plays them fine so 
there MUST be a Wintel product out there that can hack it too.

TIA
ernie
