If you are looking for an easy to use music encoder you might want to give the latest version of winLame a try. Beta 1 of the 2009 release has just been made available on the official homepage of the project adding several improvements to previous versions of the lame frontend for the Windows operating system.
The program supports a wide variety of music formats and can also rip audio CDs (with the option to pull information from Freebd) easily. Some of the more popular formats that are supported by winLame include mp3, ogg, acc, wma and flac. The process is divided into four windows starting with the selection of the music on the local computer system. A file browser or drag and drop can be used to add audio files from the computer system. The option to include CD tracks is also available in this first screen.

The second screen contains the output settings and parameters including the selection of the output module, the location where the files will be stored in and if a playlist should be created automatically.

The third step lists several presets that can be used to encode the music ranging from high quality hifi to best quality archiving or portable usage. Custom settings can be configured as well in this screen.
The final step will display encoding information and the progress. The wide variety of audio formats coupled with encoding presets make winLame a viable alternative for anyone looking for a solid audio encoder for the Windows operating system.

Oh, I’ve just needed this, thank you!
Looks like a worthy alternative to BonkEnc. I’ll try this later.
The Prodigy? Awesome.
