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.
