I do some MP3 encoding from time to time on podcasts or tutorials, and I am always on the search for a new software for encoding. My search may have just ended today! Lame was my find for this month. It's not a stand-alone software, but it is an "add-on" to what you currently are using. If you are using LameXP or RazorLame then you are in luck that it will easily add to the software that you currently have on your system. Or, it can be added as a .dll file to some other existing programs. Adding digital album art, copyright locking, codec changing, and complete control. Ohh... the smile on my face.
