Sweet, thanks.
Now, what is it that you like about these? Or what do they really do
better? is it encoding speed, sound quality at one end or another,
something about the tool itself?

Do you have a comment about the difference between LAME and Fraunhofer?

I haven't really looked around the add-ins for iTunes much, and I'd
love some comments from everybody.
