LAME is a fast MPEG encoder for compressing RAW, WAV and AIFF audio files. The download contains both an executable command-line program and a Windows DLL. The DLL is meant to be used as a plug-in by other programs that support external MP3 encoders such as Audiograbber.

Features

  • MPEG1 layer III and MPEG2 layer III support.
  • Quality is substantially better than ISO psy-model based encoders and close to that of the FhG encoder.
  • GPSYCHO - a GPL'd psycho acoustic model. Variable bitrate (VBR), joint stereo, great pre-echo control.
  • Encodes faster than real-time on a PII 266. Lower quality modes are much faster.
  • ID3 version 2 TAG support
  • Source code compiles on GNU/Linux, Unix, Windows, MacOS, BeOS, AmigaOS, OS/2.

Requirements

  • Windows 95/98/NT
