I have build a classic lame_enc.dll v3.98.2, everything included with the latest version and I also used the fastest compilers on the planet.

Get it here and test it with your favorite encoder, it works with CDex, VirtualDub, etc:

See the speedy testresults in the zip-file.

Just overwrite your LAME_ENC.DLL with this one.

LAME MP3 Encoder 3.98.2 is broken. It will not work with Cdex and other software. Part of the dll is missing.

Hi guys. There is no installation at all. You must go to the DOS prompt and type a line like:
g:\lame98\lame.exe -h -V 4 g:\wavfiles\track01.wav g:\destinationfiles\track01.mp3
and it works.

Or you can try a frontend program like RazorLame; or you can have the WON-DER-FUL Foobar player, tell it where the lame.exe is, and tell it you want to convert the files in the playlist.

Hope this is useful.

Stupid question:
How do I install it after downloading and unzipping? When I click the lame.exe - there┬┤s just a quick blink and nothing happens.

What am I doing wrong?

Lame is good but how do I install it so that it shows up in Control Panel> Sounds and Speech Devices> Audio Codecs?

The louder the opinion, the less fact behind it. The subtle points are mostly well taken, the screaming THIS IS BEST! posts invariably wrong at the core.

Legally, using LAME is like patronizing a speakeasy. Using WMA is like having a breath tester installed on your car. It's your choice, but sound quality is pretty low down the priority tree.

It's easy to use with a front-end and versatile, and not to mention free. But it would be great if there would be a easy switch to cut songs between frames/time indexes (additional options could also be added later, with newer versions) - or could anyone suggest another easy application?

LAME is the only codec that ain't useless in many applications at once. It suits best for the most purposes and offers the best sound quality ever. I think, the stereo sound produced by LAME, has the quality/size ratio the highest. While in doubt, compare waveforms visually.

I have tested Lame mp3,itunes 7 AAC, Wma Pro and Ogg.

Itunes AAC with Vbr is the best audio codec.
Sometimes even 320kbs is not enough for lame.

Its quite obvious that MP3 format technology is old.
Audio codec: Itunes AAC Vbr
Video codec: H264

I have used Lame 3.96 as the encoding engine for my C# program MGrip.exe for many years now. I have experimented with various other encodong engines from time to time and have always returned to Lame 3.96. I have come to this page as I wanted to look into updates of lame_enc.dll from 3.96 but from what I see I find no reason to fix what ain't broke.

For some of you that think that you know about sound then you may be wrong by saying otherwise than LAME is the best mp3 encoder that exist to this day!

Fraunhofer is a very good encoder though @128kbps possibly sounds better than lame in some occasions but rarely. Overall LAME beats every mp3 encoder at almost any rate.

Stick with this one as every one that truly knows about sound will agree with this.

Lynx_TWO,that wma problem that you said maybe because of auto volume leveling being turned on.

i also was not satistfied with wma wolume that slow down when high sound part in wma.if you turn off the auto volume leveling,the wma should sound okay and its volume as loud mp3.
