Don't include the debian directory as one that is needed during builds. Patch taken from Debian's packaging of lame.
Resurrect Owen Taylor's code dated from 97-11-3 to properly deal with GTK1. This was transplanted back from aclocal.m4 with a patch provided by Andres Mejia. This change makes it easy to regenerate autotools' files with a simple invocation of autoconf -vfi.

Version 3.98.4

Release Date: Mar 24, 2010

Joseph Flynn
- Improvements for LAME DirectShow filter:
  - Added support for the DirectShow IAMStreamConfig Interface to the LAME encoder filter output pin.
  - Modified the DirectShow filter registration section so that the LAME Encoder filter is correctly registered in the Audio Compressors filter category. This will allow third-party encoding applications using the DirectShow System Device Enumerator Interface to correctly detect the LAME encoder when querying the Audio Compressors filter group.
  - Modified the filter registration information so that the MP3 audio subtype is correctly reported as being supported on the encoder output pin. This will allow third-party encoding applications using the DirectShow IFilterMapper2 Interface to recognize that the LAME encoder supports MP3 output.
  - Altered the Filter Merit Value that was being used when the filter was registered so that it is now using the standard DirectShow compressor filter merit value of MERIT_DO_NOT_USE (0x200000). Previously, the filter was being registered using a value of MERIT_SW_COMPRESSOR (0x100000), which was at a lower priority (i.e. worse priority) than MERIT_DO_NOT_USE. This prevented the LAME Encoder filter from being selected for use by some third-party encoding applications.
  - Added code to calculate the frame length of the audio frames used for the nBlockSize element of the WAVEFORMATEX output structure. Previously this value was simply hard-coded to 1.
Robert Hegemann
- Fix for Bugtracker item [ 2973877 ] A problem regarding the new drain code

Version 3.98.3

Release Date: Mar 10, 2010
Download(s):
Rogério Brito:
- Update the debian packaging for the new release.
Robert Hegemann
- The ignore-tag-errors switch had no effect when embedding album art, fixed.
- Library API change: lame_decode functions are now obsolete but still present, please use hip_decode instead. The reason for this change is: lame_decode functions use a single global variable within the library to store decoder setup, hip_decode functions don't. The encoder now uses hip_decode internally and it is now possible to use clipdetect feature while reencoding mp3 to mp3.
- Workaround for FFMPEG bug, which uses to call lame_encode_flush more than once in a loop.
- Windows: program icon and version info added (when building with VC9)
- Fix for Bugtracker item [ 2688413 ] lib name problem in Microsoft Visual Studio 6
- Fix for Bugtracker items [ 2051870, 2423650, 2928684 ] several small documentation issues
- Fix for Bugtracker item [ 2723518 ] resampling in 3.98 and 3.99alpha
- Fix for Bugtracker item [ 2891879 ] Because of Windows API change, there was a problem with the prority switch.
- Fix for Bugtracker item [ 2893101 ] Access Violation in BladeMP3EncDLL if UNICODE was defined.
- Fix for Bugtracker item [ 2887359 ] Wrong length in ID3v2 tag when num_samples isn't set
- Fix for Bugtracker item [ 2872590 ] LameTAG: 'Music length' missmatch in LAME 3.98
- Fix for Bugtracker item [ 2824296 ] wrong enc_padding value in LAME 3.99a and 3.98.3 (from CVS)
- Revisiting the FhG decoder problem (FhG V1.5 build 50, ships with MS Windows): enabling the new-drain-code seems to solve that issue better, than restricting the buffer size (see below: 3.98 beta 1, May 16 2007).
- Patch submitted by Bernhard Doebler, tracker item [ 2807676 ] Error when building Lame with NASM support
- Patch submitted by Mancuso Raffaele, tracker item [ 2406420 ] compile lame_enc.dll under cygwin

- + Made search for ID3v1 genres more sloppy, abbrevations may match more often as some simple typos. Examples:
- # --tg 'Alt. Rock' matches genre 'Alternate Rock'
- # --tg 'acapela' matches genre 'A Cappella'
- + New switch --pad-id3v2-size 'n': adds ID3v2 tag with n padding bytes.

Version 3.98

Release Date: Jul 5, 2008
Anton Sergunov:
- Frontend DirectShow: enabling LAME dshow filter to connect to 'File Writer Filter'.

Fix for some rare scalefactor selection issue the newer vbr code had at low compression levels
Fix for Bugtracker item[ 1813496 ] AIFF parsing bug
Latest changes to the new VBR code:
- it now has its own psy model, a derivation from NSPSY.
- some more tuning has been done for this new psy model. Many thanks to Horst Albrecht and Myles Thaiss.
- the 'out-of-bits' strategy is reworked
It was possible, that the 'interchannel masking effects feature' was used by the dual-channel-mode for bi-lingual encodings too. It was meant to work on stereo L/R channels only.

Fix for Bugtracker item [1636267] ID3v2 tags overwritten

LAME MP3 Encoder is the best mp3 encoder and is available for free! LAME originally stood for LAME A in't an M p3 E ncoder. LAME is an educational tool to be used for learning about MP3 encoding.

Audacity is an easy-to-use, multi-track audio editor and recorder for Windows, macOS, GNU/Linux and other operating systems. Audacity is ready to use but you won’t be able to export to MP3 format audio, only WAV format unless you go back and DOWNLOAD AND INSTALL THE LAME MP3 ENCODER SEE LINK ABOVE. I use Windows 10 and Audacity 2.2.2. I want to cut a big MP3-file into 5 songs. Each a MP3-file. Audacity needs a lameenc.dll (see picture). And I download Lamev3.99.3forWindows.exe. As I try to install lame in my Windows-10. I get a error-message. Telling me that Windows-10 declines to install it. What must/can I do? The Lame MP3 Encoder for Audacity is really useful for improving the overall quality of recordings! However, this version is no longer the latest, and it is included in the latest Audacity download. Lame MP3 for Audacity is one of the best free softwares for encoding mp3 files with high quality sound. How to install and use Lame for Audacity correctly? Audacity is a free audio recorder wherein you can record tracks, edit them, combine them, apply some effects, and save them in different file formats such as WAV, MP3, MP2, Ogg Vorbis and other file formats. But for Audacity to create an MP3 file, you will need to download LAME codec too.

LAME MP3 Encoder Editor's Review

LAME is a software codec designed to encode audio data in the MP3 format. LAME is one of the most highly-regarded MP3 encoders, capable of converting audio data to the lossy MP3 format with minimal decline in quality. LAME is a command-line program but there are various separate front ends that offer a GUI (graphical user interface).
The source code for LAME is free, licensed under the LGPL (the GNU Lesser General Public License, meaning that anyone can copy and share LAME); however, LAME uses certain proprietary technologies which aren't licensed as freeware so a compiled version of LAME could be in violation of those patents. Developers who use LAME in their technologies may need to obtain a patents license.
Pros: Free, produces high-quality MP3s
Cons: Command-line operated, requires a separate GUI.
Conclusion: Still one of the best free MP3 encoders around.
