LAME is a recursive acronym for LAME Ain't an MP3 Encoder, although the current version is a stand-alone encoder. (See below.)

The consensus (as of 2004) seems to be that LAME produces the highest quality MP3 files for (average) bitrates of 128 kbit/s and higher. In a public listening test early in 2004, 128 kbit/s LAME MP3 files were the least detectable when compared to uncompressed audio. About 20 people participated in that listening test. http://www.rjamorim.com/test/mp3-128/results.html
