Lame MP3 Encoding

Lame is a command line program.

Lame is one of the most powerful MP3 encoders. It can even be used with programs that normally require an external MP3 encoder. A thread-optimized version provides considerably better performance compared to earlier versions that used Hyperthreading or dual-core processors.

Software: Lame (Gilad Raichshtain)
Version: 3.97
Installed size 500 K + 183 M workload file
Benchmark duration: 2-4 minutes
Installation

All required files (lame.exe, lame_enc.dll and the wav-files to be encoded) should be saved to the same directory.

Settings

We don't use any special parameters for Lame. If, however, you're determined to get a near-perfect MP3 file, then we recommend the following parameters:

-b 192 --cbr -m s -q 0 --lowpass 19.5 --add-id3v2 --tn %n --tt "%t" --ta "%a" --tl "%g" --tg "%m" --ty "%y" %s %d
Benchmarking

The simplest method is to set up a small batch file with the following data content:

lame.exe -v -V o audio.wav
pause>nul

Lame tells you how long the encoding will take. In order to keep this window open you need to use the pause command.
