![]() ![]() Once you’ve installed LAME, Audacity should recognize it when you next launch it. If you’ve installed Audacity version 2.3.2 (or higher),īe sure to close Audacity before installing LAME. READ THIS PAGE ON YOUR MACINTOSH, NOT ON A MOBILE DEVICE. Click here to see what is lamev3.98.3foraudacityonwindows file, and how to. Lamev3.98.3foraudacityonwindows.exe is not a virus and it is safe to have it. (scroll down for Windows installation instructions) Under For Audacity on Windows, left-click the link Lame v3.98.3 for Audacity on. Now that you know what LAME is (and isn’t), let’s install LAME on whatever type of computer you have…if you actually need to. ![]() So, you can safely add LAME to your sound recording software’s plugins and know that your MP3s will sound great, and without fear that Fraunhofer-Thomson will come knocking on your door someday, looking for a licensing fee. There’s no discernible difference between an MP3 file created with the Fraunhofer-Thomson encoder and one created with LAME. It’s as if a company figured out how to exactly duplicate the taste of Coca Cola, not by stealing the formula from Coke, but by working in a kitchen for days and months, trying different recipes until it discovered exactly the right combination of ingredients and how to create the soda itself, and then gave that recipe to any company that wanted to make that reverse-engineered product, for free.Īnd given the millions of auditions every year submitted using the LAME encoder, it’s clear that they got the recipe right. Reverse engineering of a technical process is recognized around the world as not being a violation of patents or copyrights. A group of software geeks got together, and working backwards from a finished MP3, figured out the process (or their version of the process) that T-F created to encode MP3s. LAME is an open source, reverse engineered version of the actual, official Fraunhofer-Thomson MP3 encoder that the company licenses for money. That collides with the concepts and requirements of open source software. The company that created the MP3 format charges money for each of their MP3 encoders that get distributed. You need to make MP3s, and Audacity (and LAME) are free and open source. It actually stands for LAME Ain’t an MP3 Encoder – and for good reason. It just…works (if it’s properly installed). LAME is not a program itself, so once you install it, you won’t have to double-click on it to launch it. Notice the word “plugin” – it works silently in the background with programs that need to export MP3 files (like Audacity). This siteis NOT affiliated with Audacity(R) in any other way than by compatibility withit.LAME, the MP3-exporting plugin, enables software that doesn’t have built-in MP3 export capability (like Audacity) to spit out MP3 files. ![]() In this site, and you will find Audacity-compatible plug-ins and libraries such as those needed forMP3 Encoding, or the FFmpeg library for wider file format support.
