Yeah I got the CD single of Vengaboys - Kiss at the same time as Vengaboys - Uncle john from Jamaica... both for $1 each. Definitely worth it for the M.I.K.E. and Airscape remixes!
Below are some details regarding encoding quality of the audio files.
The very high quality "--alt-preset extreme" setting of lame was used to encode. Here's the log:
C:\Program Files\audio\razorlame>lame --alt-preset extreme "C:\1\audio\Vengaboys - Uncle john from jamaica (XXL version)
.wav" "C:\1\audio\Vengaboys - Uncle john from jamaica (XXL version).mp3"

Encoding with constant-bit-rate 192Kbps is way out-dated... learn about the --alt-preset settings of the lame encoder for more optimal and higher quality encoding!
Read this page for the list of recommended lame encoder settings:

Bookmark it!
GET EASYLAME FROM HERE, IT HAS THE OPTIMAL PRESETS BUILT-IN:

I use the "extreme" option.
