There was a time when you could purchase an activation of the Fraunhofer CODEC, but that disappeared many years ago when the newer owners of the CODEC basically abandoned it, but kept the patent active. I knew about that CODEC and that would have been my next suggestion. Still surprised that RealBand didn't let LAME ACM work, though. I recall having used it in the past; however, most of my MP3 ripping is done in a different program (just because that's part of my workflow).
