The LAME ProjectLAME is a high quality MPEG Audio Layer III (MP3) encoder licensed under theLGPL.Latest LAME release:(October 2017)LAME development started around mid-1998. Mike Cheng started it as a patchagainst the 8hz-MP3 encoder sources. After some quality concerns raised byothers, he decided to start from scratch based on the dist10 sources. Hisgoal was only to speed up the dist10 sources, and leave its quality untouched.That branch (a patch against the reference sources) became Lame 2.0, and withLame 3.81 all of dist10 code was replaced, making LAME no more only apatch.The project quickly became a team project.

Mike Cheng eventually leftleadership and started working on tooLame, an MP2 encoder. Mark Taylor becameleader and started pursuing better quality in addition to increased speed. Hecan be considered the initiator of the LAME project in its current form.

Hereleased version 3.0 featuring gpsycho, a new psychoacoustic model hedeveloped.In early 2003 Mark left project leadership, and since then the project hasbeen lead through the cooperation of the active developers (currently threeindividuals).Today, LAME is considered the best MP3 encoder at mid-high bitrates and atVBR, mostly thanks to the dedicated work of its developers and the opensource licensing model that allowed the project to tap into engineeringresources from all around the world. Both quality and speed improvements arestill happening, probably making LAME the only MP3 encoder still beingactively developed.Quick Links.- to get in touch with LAME developers,with other LAME users, or to submit bug reports.- to obtain the latest LAME sourcecode.- to get to know about software using LAME,obtain precompiled LAME binaries from external sites, and discover moreinformation about MP3.- the people behind the LAME project.- what has been happening lately.
