>>>'how is lame and how is the sound'<<<

most audiophiles now swear by lame for high quality encoding (higher bitrates that is, not 128kbits

) and especially vbr. but some still prefer using fhg

for low bitrates (< 128kbits) fhg encoders (in particular mp3enc which is fraunhofer's flagship encoder because its the only one they update from time to time) are still more preferred

as for xingenc, well xing is complete garbage. i really don't want to argue with people who say xing is good any more because there's no point. xing doesn't use shortblocks and as a result it doesn't code fast attacks well at all. granted this is probably one of the reasons why xing is very fast but the outcome of that is significant pre-echo artifacts.. literally takes the whole listening enjoyment away.. if you are still using xing under the illusion that you're getting decent results the only thing i can is stop!!!
