Try Lame, it does only come in source code though so you will need to
complie it. It is the best mp3 encoder for linux. You could also use ogg
vorbis, which creates a bit bigger files than mp3 but they are better
quality. It is also completly free, unlike mp3 which are patented. Both of
these are command line programs so you will probably what a nice GUI, the
one I use is called grip. It comes with mandrake 7.2. So does ogg vorbis.
If you don't have 7.2 go to freshmeat an search for grip. Got to the home
page, download grip, futher down the page is a list of links of encoders
that work with it, both lame and ogg vorbis are listed.
Hope this helps
BTW I use ogg's.
