explanation of different types of MP3 codecs

Long back I remember reading an article of the different types of mp3 codecs used in various encoding software, iTunes, RealPlayer, etc. but I can't for the life of me find anything relating to that on Google. Does anyone know of a resource that would help me?

For encoding, LAME is the standard.  Some others are discussed and available here:

No, nothing specific. I just wanted to know more about the history of mp3 codecs; nerdy stuff.
