LAME MP3 Encoder 32bit is an open-source audio encoder for Windows PC. The encoder is not a graphical application that you can double-click, but a command-line tool, usable from the Terminal application (which lives in the utility folder inside the Applications folder) or other graphical applications.

Features and Highlights

Many improvements in quality in speed over ISO reference software. See history.
MPEG1,2 and 2.5 layers III encoding.
CBR (constant bitrate) and two types of variable bitrate, VBR and ABR.
The encoding engine can be compiled as a shared library (Linux/UNIX), DLL, Directshow filter, or ACM codec (Windows).
Free-format encoding and decoding.
GPSYCHO: a GPL'd psycho acoustic and noise shaping model.
Powerful and easy to use presets.
Quality better than all other encoders at most bitrates.
Fast! Encodes faster than real-time on a PII 266 at the highest quality mode.
MP3x: a GTK/X-Window MP3 frame analyzer for both .mp3 and unencoded audio files.

System Requirements

LAME MP3 Encoder is designed to be lightweight and can run on a variety of operating systems, including Windows, macOS, Linux, and Unix-like systems. It has minimal system requirements and should work well on most modern computers.
