Enlighten me if I'm wrong, but I was under the impression that
Fraunhofer are the original developers of the MP3 compression
algorhithm (sp??) which is used by *all* MP3 encoders? Is there
really a massive audible difference (at the same bitrate) between the
various app's?
I've been using LAME since it's regarded as being the 'best' and I've
certainly been happy with the results at 192 for archiving my music;
however since I encoded a file to .ogg yesterday for the first time
ever, I'm truly convinced that Ogg sounds better.
Henceforth, I shall ogg away... just as soon as I install a user-
friendly front-end version that doesn't rely on command-lines, since
I'm not nearly geeky enough :-)
