Are any mp3/aac etc. etc. encoders really lossless? Has anyone did an FFT analysis on them to ascertain any differences?

Neither mp3 nor aac are lossless- nor do they claim to be. The most widespread lossless codec is probably Apple's, which is an option in iTunes; however, lossless compression will inherently be limited to around 2:1 ratios on audio material.
