LAME MP3 Encoder 3.98

You can use the LAME executable with RazorLAME interface or you can use the DLL with another software (AudioGrabber, CDEx etc). I prefer the combination CDEx or AudioGrabber + LAME DLL. In the archive are included both: exe and DLL.

Features:

• Many improvements in quality in speed over ISO reference software.
• MPEG1,2 and 2.5 layer III encoding.
• CBR (constant bitrate) and two types of variable bitrate, VBR and ABR.
• Encoding engine can be compiled as a shared library (Linux/UNIX), DLL or ACM codec (Windows).
• Free format encoding and decoding
• GPSYCHO: a GPLd psycho acoustic and noise shaping model.
• Powerfull and easy to use presets.
• Quality is comparable to FhG encoding engines and substantially better than most other encoders.
• Fast! Encodes faster than real time on a PII 266 at highest quality mode.
• MP3x: a GTK/X-Window MP3 frame analyzer for both .mp3 and unencoded audio files.

What's New in version 3.98:

• Anton Sergunov:
  • Frontend DirectShow: enabling LAME dshow filter to connect to "File Writer Filter".
• Rogrio Brito:
  • Updates to the Debian Packaging
  • Fixes to the abx tool for Unix systems (so that more people can evaluate LAME's compression against the original files)
• Alexander Leidinger:
  • explicitely link the math lib to the lame lib
  • add switch to disable the use of the compaq optimized math lib
