*please feel free to hum the theme of 'Kung Fu' while reading this post*

I, young grasshopper, wish to learn the masterful art of mp3 encoding. My kung fu is not as good as others. I have followed the 'search button' path but as of yet, I was unable to find a true master. I have been practicing 'MusicMatch Jukebox' style at a rate of 192kbps. Yet, I hear others using such kung fu as 'Lame' style with 'VBR'. My mp3 kung fu no good compaired to others. Others sound like wind rustling through rice paddy. Mine sound like old woman tripping over log. I shall remain in a lotus position awaiting my lesson.
