adding an executable as a resource

Hi,

I'm wondering if what I'm doing is the right thing to do before I go any further with my project. I want to make a GUI wrapper for lame, the command line mp3 encoder. I've made a small test app which works. The test app has the lame executable added as a resource, then I start an NSTask with the path to the copy of lame in the app's bundle as the task's launch path. I'm a bit worried because it was so easy to do. There are only eleven lines of code inside the action method!

Eventually, I'd like to add tag info and also have some sort of progress indicator, but before I go that far I'd like to know if anyone has any opinions about this?

Ron
