Welcome.

Open your eyes before posting, please. There are two sticky topics "List of recommended LAME settings/compiles"... go figure.
Nothing is impossible if you don't need to do it yourself.

What is better, LAME or Franhofer MP3 Encoder?
LAME has a much better proven track record, since a LOT of public testing has been done on it. It is possible that other encoders could be better, but they don't have the testing behind them than LAME does. In other words, if you wanted a gun, I could offer you an M-16 or something in a black box. LAME is the M-16 - at least you know what you're getting.

You didn't read a single post, did you? In the MP3 section, you can read LAME everywhere. As Silversight said go figure...

I agree with beto.  They have answered your question in previous posts.  FhG may be used by programs like MusicMatch and Windows Media Player but Lame has the proven quality.  Besides, I don't see any "professionals" using the FhG mp3 encoder.

Would you pay $10'000 for a car that keeps coughing up smoke, dies extremely frequently in the highway,

Or pay $5'000 for a car that, well, runs well?

Paid software does not guarantee a quality product.

Because Lame has more coverage on HA does not mean it is any better by default. Again better for what? low / mid or high bitrates? an encoder which is good at low bitrates might not shine at high bitrates. Only listening tests completed with latest versions of each could determine (btw I am guessing that most people could not tell most mp3 encoders apart 160 kbps and above)...

Ok, Franhofer doesn't update MP3 codec, but LAME does.

Because LAME makes encodes that are far better in audio quality AND tends to produce smaller files?

BTW, there IS a new Fraunhofer MP3 encoder - dated May 25 2007 - found by Alex B. It supports VBR and their own gapless implementation called OFL (Original File Length).

EDIT: Damn, this was old news.

They have answered your question.  You are the one that refuses to forget about it.  Oh wait, now I did it.
