LAME is probably the best encoder I've used. It's pretty much on par with the Fraunhofer encoder as far a quality, and it is way faster. It doesn't do MP3Pro (if that's what you mean by the new Fraunhofer update) but it doesn't really need it. It's much better than MM with its Xing encoder (Xing is outdated and it wasn't anything special when it was new). It has a lot of different features to play with and it's kinda complicated sometimes, so if you don't use it right you won't be satisfied with the quality. Maybe that's why Radio XY sounds bad.
