Key Features of LameXP 4.0:
- Complete re-write of LameXP in C++ using the Qt Framework.
- Switching from dated Delphi IDE (version from 2002) to an up-to-date tool chain (VS2008 or GCC 4.5.x).
- Full Unicode support, which means that all problems with "Codepages" and "strange characters" will finally be gone!
- Support for multiple platforms (Windows, Linux, MacOS X) will be possible.
- Creating new LameXP translations will be much easier for contributors thanks to the Qt Linguist tool.
Note: This is an early technology preview that doesn't do much yet, but you can test the Unicode support already.

- Creates MP3 (MPEG 1.0 Audio-Layer III) files
- Provides a graphical user-interface for Windows XP
- Provides the highest possible MP3 quality/compression-rate

Great to see that the new version has added support for the Opus audio codec. I think Opus is a very promising format (it sounds great already) and it will replace MP3/AAC/Vorbis in the near future.

Decent program, been using this one since v3.0. I sometimes prefer EAC+Lame: displays a DOS window that shows how the (VBR) encoding is being distributed over the various bitrates.
If you're not interested in that kind of information, LameXP works perfectly fine: with individual progress bars.

This is a fake "free" program. It will only run for a short time then it will abort unless you "update" the program. There is a "Disable Update Reminder" under "Advanced Options" but that setting is ignored.
Last time i "updated" a "free" program (Revo Uninstaller), the only thing happend is that a nag screen got installed urging me to by the "Pro" version of the program instead. This is obviously the same sort of scam.
Users of "free" programs have no rights - just imagine a commercial program aborting every start up unless you "update". (Not that I could update anyway - not all 'puters are connected to internet. I can only "update" the program by installing a new version of the program which would then only work for a short time)
