What bitrate are you sampling at? I use bladeenc @ 128kbps and it sounds
pretty good. The space tradeoff works for me (I have 15GB+ of cd's I have
encoded).

| Yes, go to freshmeat.net and search for "mp3".

There was one I used for some time, but I cannot recall the name. It was much
slower than bladeenc. I think it was from Freuhoff (sp?).

Xing just released their latest for Linux. $20. I am toying with the idea of
getting it, given the ammount of cd's I have left to encode (I want my entire
library online).
