Since the introduction of AIMP version 3 the lame mp3 encoder was removed from AIMP audio converter. Haven't understood why and why it was not at least replaced by another mp3 encoder. Anyways the L.A.M.E. remains the best mp3 encoder according to my knowledge and AIMP the best and lightest MP3 player out there and moreover includes all the basic tools, like a converter and an mp3 ID3 tagger and renamer.
So here are the steps I took to install LAME functionality back to AIMP.

10 SWITCHES WITH 7 PINS.

When using the small Arduino Duamilanove or Uno and want to connect 10 buttons to digital inputs but you also need pins to drive leds, motors, sirens etc. you usually may face the problem that you may run out of pins. The method I will show you reduces the number of pins needed for iput switches - buttons. It works for 6 or more input pins and for even number of digital inputs. As an example I will show how to use 7 pins for reading 10 input buttons thus freeing up 3 I/O pins!
