All releases of LAME


Release Notes: A crash related to .w64 input files was fixed. Frames support was enhanced with support for WFED, PCST, and USER frames, and support for COMM frames with descriptions. Two frame-related crashes were fixed.


Release Notes: This release fixes a problem with genre numbers when adding Unicode ID3 tags.


Release Notes: LAME can now replace common suffixes when no output filename is given. Support for WAVE format IEEE float input files was added. New options to swap channels and to select single stereo channels for mono encoding were added. Many minor bugs were fixed. Debian packaging was improved.


Release Notes: A very important interaction with the FhG decoder was fixed. The hip audio decoding library is used to perform a better job when reencoding MP3 files to MP3 files. Bugs were worked around to improve compatibility with ffmpeg. Many fixes were made regarding ID3 tags, including correct specification of the length of the tracks. Improved fixes were made for building lame under many environments (including native Windows and Cygwin). The Debian packaging was updated to work well with current Debian and Ubuntu distributions.


Release Notes: This release adds some quality improvements to the generated audio files, enables the user to choose fractional variable bitrate qualities, and has upgraded support for libsndfile1 (and, in turn, can use many file formats as input, including FLAC files). It includes many bugfixes, including peripheral tools for user convenience.


Release Notes: Several bugs in vbr.new were fixed. "-q1" and "-q0" were reworked. Quantization and ReplayGain analysis speeds were increased. Further bugs were fixed.


Release Notes: A rare bug in VBR-new has been fixed (could lead to crashes or data corruption). There are some fixes in the ACM codec. Padding has been fixed when encoding to 320kbps. Block size selection for mid and side channels has been fixed.


Release Notes: This release fixes a few bugs and adds some code modifications and speed-ups.


No changes have been submitted for this release.


Release Notes: Added a non-linear psymodel (as a compile time option, disabled by default), a compiler options workaround for a bugs in gcc 2.9.6* and 3.0.3, and an ACM wrapper (MS-Windows codec). There is now less memory copying for stereo (interleaved) input, and inter-channel masking (enabled with the --interch x option).
