  Version: iTunes-LAME Encoder 2.0.9.34

  Pros

  Easy; works with Squeezebox Server

  Cons

  None so far

  Summary

  I just installed this so that I could stream FLAC files to my Squeezebox 1 without constant rebuffering. Worked fine on OS 10.5.8. I'm running iTunes 10.0 and it didn't have any problem, but I'm not certain that it actually used the LAME encoder instead of its own. But I just needed it for Squeezebox Server and it seems to be the only game in town. Incidentally: you need to stop and restart the Squeezebox Server after you install this.

  Version: iTunes-LAME Encoder 2.0.9.34

  Pros

  could encode on iTunes directly in LAME format, sounds great!!!!

  Cons

  does not work well in iTunes 7 or higher or Mac OS X 10.5 or higher,, ive tested this on Power PC G3, G4, G5, and intel
  with 10.4 and 10.5 on an external Firewire 320gb Hard Drive Booted up

  Summary

  if you have an older mac your still holding onto and your still stuck at iTunes 6 and Mac OS X 10.4 you will love this app for better quality MP3's at a lower bit rate,
  
  I used this mostly on an old Media Center - 2002 Power PC dual G4 867Mhz with iTunes 6 and Mac OS X 10.4.11 for quite a few years already.
  Haven't seen any updates since 2007 so 4 stars in stead of 5
