+               Monkey's Audio comes with a nice GUI that many people are familiar with.  It supports some external encoders, but not FLAC.  However, the FLAC Windows distribution comes with a utility that allows you to replace one the of the supported lossless external codecs with FLAC.  Here's how:
+               <UL>
+                       <LI>Copy <B><TT>flac.exe</TT></B> and <B><TT>flac_ren.exe</TT></B> to the <B><TT>External/</TT></B> directory of the Monkey's Audio installation.</LI>
+                       <LI>
+                               Choose a supported encoder to replace:
+                               <UL>
+                                       <LI>Shorten - copy <B><TT>flac_mac.exe</TT></B> on top of <B><TT>External/shortn32.exe</TT></B></LI>
+                                       <LI>WavPack - copy <B><TT>flac_mac.exe</TT></B> on top of both <B><TT>External/wavpack.exe</TT></B> and <B><TT>External/wvunpack.exe</TT></B></LI>
+                                       <LI>RKAU - copy <B><TT>flac_mac.exe</TT></B> on top of <B><TT>External/rkau.exe</TT></B></LI>
+                               </UL>
+                               If you choose WavPack you will also be able to use the WavPack Configuration menu to add flac options.
+                       </LI>
+                       <LI>Now you can encode FLAC files as if you were using the replaced encoder.  The renamed <B><TT>flac_mac.exe</TT></B> utility will call <B><TT>flac.exe</TT></B> and afterwards, <B><TT>flac_ren.exe</TT></B> will rename the resulting file to have the .flac extension.</LI>
