Some months ago there was a listening test over various codecs at 128

You can look at the results at he

What an appaling test. the bitrates are way off (at least the guy documents that)

only three of the codecs are nominally 128kbit, LAME is substantially lower and ogg somewhat higher.

if you look st the results knowing that, it shows the test up as useless.
