Converting MP3 To MS Wave Format / MMTOOLS

I was finally able to contact someone from SwiftSof regarding 
MMTOOLSt.  It took a phone call to Germany to get one, but I did get 
the answer I needed.  Basically, support was always good from them.  
I believe it's a one person company (Ron Dittrich) and he was on 
vacation.  I have always been pleased with the components and the 
support.  I believe this was just a "glitch" in support.  The bottom 
line is MMTOOLS includes components to convert MP3 files to MS Wave 
file format.  It works great..a little expensive though.

I do have a question with regards to MP3 licensing.  I know this is a 
little off the "Delphi path" but since we developers are the ones who 
are going to have to deal with a license issue, I thought I would ask 
here first.

From what I can tell, converting MP3 files to MS Wave files doesn't 
require any licensing.  I visited http://mp3licensing.com and it 
appears as though they are only concerned about creating MP3 files 
and hardware based encoders/decoders.  I'm not certain though.

Has anyone had to deal with this issue before or does anyone have any 
good links that put it into developer terms instead of legal ease?

I would appreciate any tips.
