    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.

    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.

    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

    What's New in This Release:

    · Frontend DirectShow: enabling LAME dshow filter to connect to "File Writer Filter".
    · 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)
    · explicitely link the math lib to the lame lib
    · add switch to disable the use of the compaq optimized math lib
