It would be excellent if The One Ripper had support
for the xingmp3enc. It's a commerical Linux Xing
codec that only costs $15 and works fairly well.
XingMP3 Encoder v1.5 for Linux [Build 21] May 13
1999
Copyright 1995-99 Xing Technology Corp.
http://www.xingtech.com/
File to file MPEG Layer III audio encoder
Usage: xingmp3enc [-B bitrate] [-V vbr_scale] [-M
mode] [-A algorithm]
[-Q] [-N] [-R] [-S] [-H] [-C copyright_bit] [-O
original_bit]
[--] <input filename> [output filename]
An input filename is required; run "xingmp3enc -H" for
help.
I would be interested to here feedback if people think
that any of the other encoders outperform xingmp3enc.

Usage: xingmp3enc [-B bitrate] [-V vbr_scale] [-M mode] [-A
algorithm]
[-Q] [-N] [-R] [-S] [-H] [-C copyright_bit] [-O
original_bit]
[--] <input filename> [output filename]
** NOTE: If no output filename is specified, the output
filename will be
that of the input filename with the extension
(e.g. '.wav')
replaced with '.mp3'.
Options:
-H Print this help screen
-B <bitrate> Constant Bit Rate (CBR) bitrate to encode
with;
Incompatible (mutually exclusive) with -V
option.
Valid mono bitrates are:
16, 24, 32, 48, 56, 64, 80, 96, 112,
128, 160, 192,
224, 256, 320
Since stereo encodings necessarily contain
two channels,
valid stereo bitrates are limited to being
double these,
up to the maximum of 320 kbps:
32, 48, 64, 96, 112, 128, 160, 192,
224, 256, 320
For example:
A mono encoding might use: -M 3 -B
16 ...
A stereo encoding might use: -B 160 ...
** NOTE: Encoding with higher sampling
rates prevents
the use of the lowest available
bitrates. See
the documentation for further
details.
Default bitrate: 128 kbps if stereo, or 64
kbps if mono.
-V <scale> Variable Bit Rate (VBR) scale to encode
with;
Incompatible (mutually exclusive) with -B
option.
Valid scale values are 0-150; 0 uses the
highest level of
variability to achieve higher compression,
150 the lowest.
See the documentation for more explanation
of this scale.
-M <mode> Select encoding mode:
0 mode-0 stereo
1 mode-1 stereo (Default)
2 dual stereo
3 mono
-O <value> Set original bit:
0 copy
1 original
-C <value> Set copyright bit;
0 clear copyright bit
1 set copyright bit
-A <algorithm> Select encoding algorithm:
0 match sample rate of WAV input
file (Default)
1 use best MPEG-1 sample rate (32,
44.1, 48)
2 use best MPEG-2 sample rate (16,
22.05, 24)
xxxxx use specified sample rate; valid
values are:
48000, 44100, 32000, 24000,
22050, 16000
-N Do not encode high (greater than 16kHz)
frequencies
-Q Quiet mode: don't display statistical
output during encoding
-S Instead of displaying the elapsed time
statistical meter,
periodically display the file sizes read
and written
-R The default return value is 0 on success,
non-0 otherwise.
Alternatively, you may use this option to
override this and
return instead the number of frames
successfully encoded.
-- Ignore the leading "-" on any further
command line options;
force the interpretation of those options
as the input and
(if specified) output filenames, which
might happen to have
a dash as the first character of the name.
Since such names
can wreak havoc with UNIX utilities, use
this with care!
You may want to pipe this help screen through 'more'
or 'less', i.e, run:
"./xingmp3enc -H | more"

The usage helps, but I also need to see what the output is
like - so that I can make the progress meter - if anyone has
xingmp3enc - if you could just post a sample of what the
output looks like, it would be great
