or Audacity (you need to install Lame 3.99.3 for Audacity), etc.

Or you can use the DLL with other standalone software: However, if Command Line interface scare you off, LAME executable can be used with one of these GUIs: The commands are very simple and you can learn them by reading the Command Line Help which comes with the application. LAME MP3 Encoder uses the Command Line interface, but this should not scare you off. The ABR method is a combination of the previous two, which preserves the bitrate at the required target and produces smaller files than the CBR method. The VBR method is recommended for the average user because it renders the smallest file size while keeping quality it changes bitrates depending on the complexity of the file. Regarding compression, LAME MP3 Encoder is superior to other similar utilities because it uses CBR, VBR and ABR.ĬBR allows you to maintain a constant bitrate through the file and predict the size of the resulting file. Now when you try to save a file as MP3 in GoldWave, use the Browse button instead of the Download button on the Encoder Download window to specify theįolder where the LAME_ENC.DLL file is located.It allows you to rip audio CDs and your music will occupy less storage space without compromising sound quality. If you downloaded the 64 bit version, rename the file from LAME_ENC64.DLL to LAME_ENC.DLL.ģ. Copy the LAME_ENC.DLL file into your GoldWave folder. However due to a change in the the web server, older versions of GoldWave may not be able to download the encoder automatically.Ģ. If you have an active Internet connection when you save the first MP3 file. Some older versions download it automatically Recent versions of GoldWave include the encoder. To save and create MP3 files the LAME MP3 Encoder must be installed. You need to install a lame.dll encoder to accomplish this (steps and links below).
