I didn't see the original message, but you might want to look into the beta version of LAME at http://www.sulaco.org/mp3/ From what I've heard, Bladeenc is an optimized version of the ISO demo distribution. LAME started off with the same base, but has fixed bugs in the ISO demo code, and improved the psychoacoustic modeling. The quality has been improving. I do no recommend the last "stable" release (3.13) because more recent versions have fixed some serious bugs. Newer versions of gogo (not the version in the ports) are also based on LAME.
