LAME3.100 is the best MP3 encoder for trimming or converting audio files to MP3 format @ 128 KBPS CBR.

The best sounding MP-3 audio encoder out there.

I did a fresh windows 7 install before re-ripping all of my CDΓÇÖs I installed the 3.99.1 lame_enc.dll into the Windows\System32 folder audio grabber found it and my other audio programs use it as well. Hay for you audio files out there the Windows 7 has a problem with there Sample Rate Converter I have tested it with a spectrum analyzer the converter creates artifacts into the converted audio.

You can find the Hotfix at http://hotfixv4.microsoft.com/Windows%207/Windows%20Server2008%20R2%20SP1/sp2/Fix389997/7600/free/441951_intl_i386_zip.exe

Ok before any update back up your files.

In my opinion still the best encoder for ripping CD's.

Sadly, at least in my view, CD ripping will eventually become a thing of the past.

For a good amount of time now, studio recordings exceed what are currently offered on CD's.

Nero already offers the HD AAC as part of Nero 11. Eventually, other software will offer the same.

I think the only major holdout in the case of major software is the when, not if, when both iTunes for Windows and Winamp include HD AAC.

People still wonder why not many companies offer either .ALAC (Apple Lossless) or .FLAC albums. Simple really, they are holding off until cloud providers get more well etablished (i.e. like iCloud from Apple), and two they are waiting for more major countries (including the U.S.) to have a more nationwide pure fiber-optic Internet setup (similar to Japan).

Then both uploads and download speeds will make what most people consider "high-speed" broadband seem as slow as people see a 33.6kb/ps dial-up modem seems to them now. At that point, the mere concept of CD's or even Blu-Ray discs seem completely obsolete.

I still love LAME, but someday, maybe sooner than expected, disc based media will become something a thing of the past.

O.k. Much has been said about Lame encoder..These are the facts-so far:

1.Lame is the best (lossy) mp3 encoder existing this moment!!It's last STABLE version (3.98.4) surpassed in quality even encoders you pay for..Brilliant people are working onto its next versions (3.99-4.00) so as to make our lives better..RESPECT this!!

2.It's FREE,supporting the most popular format on the planet

3. It works sweet with Audiograbber,EAC and a lot of other 'hosts'

4.The Lame executable and the DLL that comes with it (when you download it) cannot run by themselves-usually you put them in the folder of the application you are using for music transcoding /playing

5. Although boring..Try to READ the installation instructions or tutorials where necessary.

6.Clean your system of old codecs,codec packs and everything else that might decrease its performance or get in the way of neutral software functionality and make things complicated-driving you crazy

6.Re-Install the software you use for transcoding and point again the right path to the Lame exec. and DLL

7.Lame encoder comes with certain "switches".Learn how to use them (it's all in the "read me" document) and you will be able to SHAPE the encoding process in the EXACT WAY YOU LIKE!!

Very bad codec, but somehow popular among kids. Cuts frequencies like crazy. Output files are actually 16 or 20kHz! Much better quality with the same bitrate offers you AAC or OGG. Encoding is also very slow.

If you want to install LAME codec, you need to download either LAME ACM codec:

http://www.free-codecs.com/download/LAME_ACM_Codec.htm

or LAME Directshow filter:

http://www.free-codecs.com/download/LAME_Directshow_filter.htm

or preferably both. Follow the installation instructions on the pages, unless you're doing something more complicated.
And an excellent codec, all needed components available too! :)

Everybody knows that LAME isn't the best, or the fastest audio encoder because the technology is old, and there is little room for improvement nowadays.

But It's the most popular in the world, simply becouse *.mp3 is the de facto standart for lossy(compressed) audio. Of course there are such encs like Ogg Vorbis(aotuv) and AAC(from Apple), but Apple's isn't free (like LAME for instance) and Ogg is not so popular.

Perhaps in time the lossles formats will become the choice of the mainstream user (assuming the tendency for larger capacity storage media continues to expand).

this rating is for the 3.98.2 overall, not this specific. just wanted to clarify there's nothing wrong with 3.98r (as its work name is), its actual amazing n i cannot see why scene still hold on to .97.

however, should be mentioned that to work w/ ie. Exact Audio Copy u need the lame3.98.2-vc6.zip (from RAREwarez), since the verison deriving from latest compiler seem to malfunction with ie. EAC.

Admin's Note: The version you mentioned (lame3.98.2-vc6.zip - from RareWares) is a "bundle compiled with VC6/Intel Compiler 9.1 - intended for older Windows OSes."
