I have. And I am not at all satisfied.

I have. It doesn't sound the same.

BTW. there has been quite some people talking about the difference in
quality of encoding.
Spark has been mentioned favorably.

I am not sure I absolutely trust your knowledge about "the best" encoder.
Have you seen http://mp3licensing.com/mp3/mp3pro.html
I know you can't play it back on itunes or a regular mp3 player, but it's
definitely "better";-)
And the fact that a company has a Fraunhofer license doesn't mean it has to
be _the_ Fraunhofer codec. That has to do with patent.(For all I know itunes
does, but not necessarily)


Cheers!
