LAME MP3 Encoder is the best mp3 encoder and is available for free! LAME originally stood for L AME A in't an M p3 E ncoder. LAME is an educational tool to be used for learning about MP3 encoding.
Features:
- Many improvements in quality in speed over ISO reference software.
- 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.
Changes from LAME MP3 Encoder 3.96 b2 to LAME MP3 Encoder 3.96 Final:
- new quantization selection mode (used in ABR/CBR)
- set sfscale for ABR/CBR up to 160kbps
