	Well, you might want to use lame, which is an open source
	encoder for MP3 files that is supposed to be the
	state-of-the-art MP3 encoder, with special attention paid to
	quality of encoded files. It is located at http://lame.sf.net/

	I happen to actually be the upstream maintainer of the Debian
	packaging. Just download the tarball, unpack it, enter the
	main directory, and use something like

	chmod u+x debian/rules
	dpkg-buildpackage -us -uc -rfakeroot

	You will obviously have to have some packages installed (like
	fakeroot, debmake etc).

	I am interested in learning improvements that other people
	feel is worth making regarding the packaging of lame.

	Hope this helps, Roger...
