Does anyone have a good up-to-date article comparing the quality of various
MP3 encoders included with various audio-applications (either for ripping
CDs to MP3 or for WAV to MP3 conversion) ?

audio test WAV file converted to MP3 with different encoders (Creative's,
Nero's etc..) and the LAME encoder definitely shows the best results,
particularly in the IMD (intermodulation distortion) results.
