LAME Bundles
Packages of LAME, the highest quality MP3 encoder
These bundles contain:- lame.exe - the command line encoder, used from the Windows command shell
- lame_enc.dll - LAME encoding library, generally used with CD rippers, etc

LAME 3995M
2014-12-20halb27s modified lame 3.99.5. It's an extension to Lame 3.99.5 which offers an additional constraint vbr mode option --cvbr x, x from 1 to 10, fractional values allowed, to be used additionally to standard VBR option -Vn. Constrained vbr mode means bitrate is controlled not to go too low. It comes at the cost of an increased average bitrate. This extra cost can be kept very low (down to 0%), while offering remarkable quality improvement for special issues.
