Go with Fraunhofer's mp3enc (commercial) if possible, else get a copy of LAME (said to be good). Tomorrow's c't (german computer magazine) features a comparison between LAME, mp3enc, XING encoder and bladenc. Bladenc doesn't cut it, it seems, while mp3enc seems to be the reference in audio quality, with LAME being a good alternative choice. -- thomas. .powered.by.debian/linux. .served.by.FreeBSD.
