Mat,

using the software from your torrent is not the wisest choice of course:
- it involves a crack, many of which are loaded with 
spyware/trojans/viruses (didn't check this particular one, just a 
warning in general)
- it involves breaking the law on software copying as you're using a 
commercial product (software license fee: USD 29,95) without a license.

Using free/open software to accomplish the same task (such as the 
timidity/lame chaining suggested by Gerry Prosser), or purchasing the 
software involved would be the right way to go.
(allthough using lame would be walking on the legal edges given the 
patents requiring paid licenses for encoders/decoders surrounding the 
MP3 format; for regular home use walking these edges seems accepted use 
(as even the patent holders don't currently take legal action against 
the distribution of lame)).

regards,
Hans
