I was told that LAME MP3 is the best encoder and is able to increase your quality of mp3 dramatically. Now I gave up trying to use this program because it simply doesn’t work! What free mp3 tools can I get to allow me to get more out of my MP3s

Windows Media player ripping program is basically the only program I have been using up to this point but I can as well just do a microphone recording because I simply do not get the proper sound quality that I want from my original CDs to mp3.
