Project Description

LAME (LAME Ain't an MP3 Encoder) is a research project for learning about and improving MP3 encoding technology. LAME includes an MP3 encoding library, a simple frontend application, and other tools for sound analysis, as well as convenience tools. Please note that any commercial use (including distributing the LAME encoding engine in a free encoder) may require a patent license from Thomson Multimedia.

3.85beta

Lots of Variable Bit Rate fixes and a decode option.

2001-01-30 15:13
3.84beta

MPEG2.5 now supported. New resampling routines, faster huffman encoding, much improved short block compression and more.

2001-01-30 15:13
3.70

Many improvements in both speed and output quality over LAME 3.51

2001-01-30 15:13
3.50

Both speed and quality improvements since lame3.13; improvements in psycho-acoustics, Huffman encoding and MPEG2 support. The VBR code is much improved but not yet stable.

2001-01-30 15:13
3.13

Variable bit rate support (optional) with Xing VBR headers, MPEG2
layer III (allows lower bitrates/sampling frequencies), support for
libsoundfile, improved bit allocation routines, jstereo switching
criterion as well as other tunings and many bug fixes.
