    LAME description

    LAME is an MP3 encoder and graphical frame analyzer.

    LAME is short from LAME Ain't an MP3 Encoder and is a research project for learning about and improving MP3 encoding technology. LAME includes an MP3 encoding library, simple frontend application, a much-improved psycho-acoustic model (GPSYCHO), and a graphical frame analyzer (MP3x).

    Please note that any commercial use (including distributing the LAME encoding engine in a free encoder) may require a patent license from Thomson Multimedia.

    Software which uses "LAME":

    � andromeda (PHP and ASP) Dynamically presents collections of mp3s as streaming web sites.
    � rip (Perl) Script for ripping and encoding.
    � avifile AVI/DIVX encoder and decoder for Linux.
    � Grip (Linux) gtk-based cd-player, ripper and encoder. Supports cddb, cdparanoia and LAME.
    � jbm2 (Linux) A KDE jukebox style application for public places (bars, pubs,...)
    � Krabber (Linux) A KDE ripper & encoder, can use LAME.
    � Mp3Maker (Linux) A WindowMaker enhanced front end to cdda2wav/cdparanoia and lame/bladeenc.
    � dekagenc (Linux) Bourne shell script for ripping, encoding and CDDB naming.
    � ripperX (Linux) GTK frontend for rippers and several encoders featuring CDDB support.
    � T.E.A.R. (Linux) frontend to LAME, cdparanoia and CDDB.
    � Xmcd. (Linux) CD Player with CDDB and ripping to MP3 and OGG.
    � xtunes (Linux) GTK frontend for LAME, MAD, cdparanoia, cdrecord and more.
    � DropMP3 (Mac) includes LAME binaries.
    � CDex (Windows) Ripper & encoder, includes LAME binaries (the Blade compatible dll)
    � Lamedrop (Windows) OggDrop style frontend.
    � LAMEX (Windows) An activex control for LAME, and a GUI. Source code only, includes LAME.
    � m3w (Windows) A live mp3 streamer for the WWW. Works with LAME, icecast, soundcard input
    � out_lame (Windows) Winamp output plug-in. Create MP3 files directly from Winamp!
    � RazorLame (Windows) The RazorBlade front end now supports LAME.
    � winLAME (Windows) The only *nice* windows UI for LAME, according to the author :-)
    � DarkIce Live streamer for IceCast.
    � LiveIce Real time streaming of mp3s. Works with IceCast
    � MuSE A mixing, encoding and streaming engine.
    � Flash Forth a Flash-like development library


    Product's homepage

    Here are some key features of "LAME":

    · Many improvements in quality in speed over ISO reference software. See history.
    · 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 GPL'd 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 This Release: [ read full changelog ]

    · Added support for the DirectShow IAMStreamConfig Interface to the LAME encoder filter output pin.
    · Modified the DirectShow filter registration section so that the LAME Encoder filter is correctly registered in the Audio Compressors filter category. This will allow third-party encoding applications using the DirectShow System Device Enumerator Interface to correctly detect the LAME encoder when querying the Audio Compressors filter group.
    · Modified the filter registration information so that the MP3 audio subtype is correctly reported as being supported on the encoder output pin. This will allow third-party encoding applications using the DirectShow IFilterMapper2 Interface to recognize that the LAME encoder supports MP3 output.
    · Altered the Filter Merit Value that was being used when the filter was registered so that it is now using the standard DirectShow compressor filter merit value of MERIT_DO_NOT_USE (0x200000). Previously, the filter was being registered using a value of MERIT_SW_COMPRESSOR (0x100000), which was at a lower priority (i.e. worse priority) than MERIT_DO_NOT_USE. This prevented the LAME Encoder filter from being selected for use by some third-party encoding applications.
    · Added code to calculate the frame length of the audio frames used for the nBlockSize element of the WAVEFORMATEX output structure. Previously this value was simply hard-coded to 1.
    · Fix for Bugtracker item [ 2973877 ] A problem regarding the new drain code
