Yes it's true. Fraunhofer has started to add encryption to mp3's encoded with their encoder. It's already in use. Wanna hear it? go to: http://www.pcdj.com/RecordPool.asp

LAME is a very good encoder that i have used alot in my days, but OGG still is sligthly better. Encoding a OGG-file with a quality -6 switch produces a VBR 170kbps file at the same size as a mp3 CBR 160kbps. OGG is also opensource and has alot of software support and some hardware.

Musepack (MPC) is the best lossy encoder format, no doubt but lacks both in hard & software support.

OGG is also easier to setup with Exact Audio as an external compressor. This is how:

1. Choose "Vorbis" from the encoder list.

2. Find the OGGENC.EXE

3. in the commandline field, write: -q6 (or: --quality 6)

4. DONE
