To the ISO encoder to avoid legality issues with Fraunhofer LAME has evolved Started as LAME Ain't an MP3 Encoder, a patch Product: LAMEĪuthor: Mark Taylor, Mike Cheng, Takehiro Tominiga, Robert Hegemann and other The tutorial to clarify things, but some people are too lazy to check those outĪnd then bug me with stupid e-mails complaining about missing information. IĬould of course leave it away and put links to the external LAME encoder part of I didn't feel liking writing a whole new story about it. It's just copy/pasted from the external LAME encoder part In this part of the tutorial we will use the LAME DLL encoder.įor people reading the whole tutorial at once several parts on this page willīe familiar already. Is until a much better compression format arrives of course :) Illegal which is absolutely not true! MP3 is here, and it is here to stay. The music industry tries to bring down MP3 as being Making stand alone MP3 players so you can listen to your favorite MP3s even MP3 has become so popular that manufacturers already started However the LAME module is an extra optional download.MP3 compression is probably the most popular format ever for sharing audio It looks like it might be possible to use Audacity on a Mac to record directly to LAME. However recording to a lossless format WAV, AIFF, Apple Lossless, FLAC and then converting to LAME would be fine as you are not converting from an already degraded format. You want to avoid any extra conversions, for example recording to MP3 or AAC and then converting to LAME would actually impair the quality. Ideally you want to record in a lossless format or record directly to LAME. ![]() You don't detail how your recording the audio book. XLD does indeed support converting to LAME - it is slightly counter-intuitive that it does since XLD is predominantly for handling lossless formats rather than lossey formats such as MP3. Otherwise the approach suggested by others of using a different program to take the recording from iTunes and converting it externally to iTunes is the best approach. It should be noted that an MP3 file produced using LAME and an MP3 file produced using iTunes are both MP3 files that can be played using any MP3 player - otherwise they would not be MP3 files! The only difference is that allegedly MP3 files produced using LAME are superior audio quality to MP3 files produced using other MP3 encoders including the one built-in to iTunes. It looks like it takes a slightly different approach and via an AppleScript gets iTunes to use an external LAME encoder. I now keep all my music in Apple Lossless. However I did find this I have no idea if it is still compatible with the current version of iTunes and OS X.Īctually thinking more about this perhaps it was this second approach I used to use. This approach is I believe long broken, Apple no longer really support additional QuickTime codecs. I do seem to recall in the past managing to install a codec which as I dimly recall allowed LAME to show up in iTunes, I think it was a QuickTime codec. As others have already replied no iTunes does not itself have a built-in LAME encoder. ![]()
