LAME is an open source mp3 compression codec (but not originally!)
iTunes encodes with AAC

We’ll get into the differences between these formats

First, for iTunes users that rip a lot of CD’s – the LAME encoder plugin is far superior to the built in encoder for iTunes. You can grab it from:

and second for anyone in general, the dedicated app Max can compress to almost any file imaginable. Read all about it here:

Can’t wait for Take 2
