lamedropXPd encodes WAV files to the MP3 format and visa versa via a drag-and-drop interface. Encoding options can be configured by right-clicking on the program window.

License: GPL

What's new: >>

Has all new file input routines that directly support oggvorbis and FLAC input and tag copying as well as wave files. 32 bit float input improved. Encoding and Tagging dialogues have been improved. The source code includes the required oggvorbis and FLAC headers and libraries for compiling. Added an option on the encoding screen to resample the input data. This uses libsamplerate 0.1.8, from Erik de Castro Lopo. Resampling works with both wave and FLAC file input. ICL 12.1 compile.

TwoLAME is an optimised MPEG Audio Layer 2 (MP2) encoder based on tooLAME by Mike Cheng, which in turn is based upon the ISO dist10 code and portions of LAME.

Features added to TwoLAME:

    Fully thread-safe
    Static and shared library (libtwolame)
    API very similar to LAME’s (for easy porting)
    Frontend supports wider range of input files (using libsndfile)
    automake/libtool/pkgconfig based build system
    Written in Standard C (ISO C99 compliant)
