AnyBurn does not publicly document which MP3 encoder it uses internally, and it does not support swapping in an external encoder like LAME - the encoding pipeline is baked in with no lame_enc.dll-style substitution mechanism.
If MP3 encoding quality matters to you, the practical answer is to use a dedicated tool alongside AnyBurn. LameXP bundles LAME 3.101 with a clean GUI, handles batch conversion with drag-and-drop, and gets quite frequent updates.
Use AnyBurn for burning, LameXP for encoding to MP3 - you get the best of both tools. The underlying LAME MP3 Encoder it uses is still the gold standard for VBR quality.
