Lame Front-End 1.3

Lame Front-End is a graphical interface for the popular and very fast MP3 encoder & decoder - LAME. It offers easy access to all LAME parameters without the need for command line usage.

The program offers a simple mode (for beginners), which was designed according to the LAME authors guidelines (http://lame.sourceforge.net/lame_ui_example.php), and an advanced mode which reveals additional expert options.

Lame Front-End can work in batch mode, so it can be used by external applications to encoding/decoding files, e.g. by Exact Audio Copy, CDex.

The application is designed for LAME 3.98.2 - the last stable release version in January 2009.
