LAME started life as a GPL'd patch against +the dist10 ISO demonstration source, and thus was incapable of +producing an mp3 stream or even being compiled by itself. But in May +2000, the last remnants of the ISO source code were replaced, and now +LAME is the source code for a fully GPL'd MP3 encoder, with speed and +quality to rival all commercial competitors. + +LAME is an educational tool to be used for learning about MP3 +encoding. The goal of the LAME project is to use the open source model +to improve the psycho acoustics, noise shaping and speed of +MP3. Another goal of the LAME project is to use these improvements for +the basis of a patent free audio compression codec for the GNU +project. |
