For me, from certain bitrate, it just sounds indistinguishable when I adding more, only file gets bigger. ![]() I'm not really sure, if it makes so much sense to spend much time with polishing of lossy compressed material. Fraunhofer has essentially moved on to what they consider more advanced technologies (the core tech of the AAC converter is theirs). Many people believe the free, open source LAME encoder is the most advanced encoder for mp3 (MPEG-2 Layer 3). There are also many third party wrappers that provide a GUI interface (although they typically reduce the number of encoding options available from the command line executable. It's only available on SourceForge as source code but compiled command line executables of the codec are readily available. LAME is an open source project that creates an mp3-compliant encoding. ![]() Technicolor (formerly European electronics giant Thomson), as I understand it, owns the current Fraunhofer rights - and actively tries to collect royalties (the original patents are largely expired in Europe). There are a lot of of codec wrappers for the Fraunhofer and LAME encoders, but I believe those are the only two actual mp3 encoder codecs in current release.
