WinLAME Encoder
winLAME is a powerful application that allows you to encode your audio files into various formats. The program features an intuitive wizard-style user interface and a host of useful functions including multiple input formats, encoding speed and quality settings, batch processing and an ID3 tag editor.
It supports gapless encoding and generates the VBR Info tag with information about the encoded audio track. Moreover, it can automatically apply Track ReplayGain to each track and has a task scheduler to speed up your encoding processes.
Several encoding methods are supported by winLAME, including CBR, MPEG Layer 3 (MP3) and OGG Vorbis. You can even choose whether or not to use a bitrate estimator and which compression method you prefer.
The encoding process is also fast and reliable, thanks to the application's multicore CPU support. A specialized task scheduler starts new encoding tasks when your CPU is ready, which results in faster encoding times and a much cleaner final output file.
Another impressive feature is the ability to transfer tag metadata from the original audio tracks, such as the track title, artist, Disc Artist and album name. This may be particularly useful for music lovers who wish to create a personalized playlist to share with friends or family members.
WinLAME has been released under the GNU General Public License, which means that it is free software and that you can download and install it for your own use or for commercial purposes. It is a good choice for audio professionals and audiophiles alike.
