Lame is such a good encoder. At first I didn't want to use it since you had to use the command line thing, but I found out that MediaMonkey uses lame! Anyway here are the comparison charts:

Lame: 320 kbps, 16 bits @ 44 kHz, 10.4 MB

WMP: 320 kbps, 16 bits @ 44 kHz, 10.4 MB

WAV: supplemental purposes, 46.2 MB

As you can see here, the lame encoded MP3 file has much more spatial definition and accuracy, compared to the wmp encoded MP3. Of course wav has a much more detail here, mostly above your hearing threshold; the rest is almost identical. I wish Microsoft uses lame encoder.

Lame is an excellent encoder, you can download the encoder itself at lame.sourceforge.net, or MediaMonkey at mediamonkey.com :S

No, because it wouldn't be exactly fair since I used MP3 at 320 kbps and add in WMA at 192 kbps
