Re: Rodney Gold, What is the best MP3 Encoder?

"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).
Cheers,
