"Isn't the MP3 encoding algorithm fixed?"
Does all CD's sound the same? There is much of the analogy.
Xing is the fastest at a massive dynamics compression penalty, Fraunhoffer is the best quality and kind of slow, out of commercially available, to my knowledge. I haven't been checking them lately, however.
Btw, although there are some pro applications like broadcast, with real-time encoding, where I appreciate the use of MP3, I don't see much worth in focusing my attention to MP3 as I don't find it satisfactory in the quality terms. Please, wake me up when someone comes with a wide acceptance of some form of looseless compression (but not "It's great but I'm the only one using it" kind, like Meridian).
