I've already re-ripped all the Sims 3 games' music.

But this tool will make it even easier when I rip the next one which comes out in just over a week's time.

I'm working on that right now. Actually I'm going to work on it Friday. Shouldn't actually take too long.
And I said, "The well has finally run dry." So then that will be my battle cry.

Encoding support added in version 0.6.0 :D

Currently the only output format supported is headerless version 5, which looks to be the most common format (should work with FIFA). Also, uncompressed samples aren't supported yet; it only makes a difference on tracks that need seamless looping.

Example usage: ealayer3 -E mp3file.mp3 [-o ealayer3file.sns]

And yes, the input has to be an MP3 file. I didn't really want to have to include an MP3 encoder in the tool, so you can use just about any encoder and bitrate you like. Side note: it looks like I forgot to update the usage inside the program. I'll do that when I make some other fixes as well.

Do you know if this encoder will produce files that can be used with Command & Conquer 3 or Red Alert 3?

I believe so. And if not it wouldn't be too hard to add support.

Do not quite understand what you want to use decoding options for Red Alert 3 .cdata files.
