#Lame mp3 encoder windows 7 Patch
LAME is not a patch anymore, but a full encoder. May 2000 (LAME 3.81): the last pieces of the original ISO demonstration code are removed.November 1999 (LAME 3.52): LAME switches from a GPL license to an LGPL license, which allows using it with closed-source applications.(LAME 3.99 also supports the technologically simpler average bitrate (ABR), but it is unclear whether it was added before or with VBR.) Soon after this, LAME also became able to target lower sampling frequencies from MPEG-2. June 1999 (LAME 3.11): The first variable bitrate (VBR) implementation is released.


His goal was only to speed up the dist10 sources, and leave its quality untouched. After some quality concerns raised by others, he decided to start again from scratch based on the "dist10" MPEG reference software sources. Īround mid-1998, Mike Cheng created LAME 1.0 as a set of modifications against the "8Hz-MP3" encoder source code.

The name LAME is a recursive acronym for " LAME Ain't an MP3 Encoder".
