Fruhauf (fhg)was ok to good.
bitrate was also a factor.
You have to be careful not to trust the results too much though as it is possible to fool this proggy by artificially 'upgrading' the mp3 bitrates - a practice that has unfortunately become more common as quality has become a trading factor. To separate a good genuine rip from a doctored one is a difficult technical task beyond the scope of Encspot.
