If you are going to encode at 128kbps I would recomend encode (ftp://wopr.campus.luth.se/pub/mpeg_layer_3/). If you want higher bitrates (160+) bladeenc is a good choice. A revealing song, to test things with, is the old Beatles song Martha My Dear, in which the voice of Macca distorts badly at 128kpbs using Xing or BladeEnc but sound fine with encode or the Fraunhofer encoder. Some of Iron Maidens songs also has this effect; i.e. the ones in which Bruce Dickenson goes wild up in the high pitched tones.
The poster probably meant "RMS in the news" not "RMS in his software". We all love GNU software... This whole discussion is tiresome, everybody with a clue loves the _work_ the GNU project has produced... We all use it. But forcing everyone to say "GNU/" is just plain silly (and a bit late).

Stallman managed to set a nice tone:
* No preaching.
thus
* More convincing.
MY NEW FLANNEL!
or at least
A POKEY FEZ!
Will you?
