=======================================
From: "Gary Britt" <email@from_Gary_Britt.org>

How up to date is the LAME encoder?  I've got a Creative PlayCenter 2 software
encoder from a 3 year old Sound Blaster Live card in one of my machines,
Windows Media Player 10 in my new XP laptop, and also what Nero 6 and 7 come
with.  How does LAME compare to these?

Anybody have any thoughts on if it makes much difference what software encoder
is used to do the ripping?

Thanks,

Gary
