Forum discussions (old)

This article began as a "List of recommended settings" post in the HA forum. Rather than updating the posts there, the information is now only updated here in the wiki. To reduce confusion, recommendations applicable to old versions of LAME are not kept in the wiki.

Here are links to some of the old recommendations and other posts of historical interest:

Page discussion

I propose a major merging with this page. I don't think information about lame should be scattered all over the wiki. I'll think about it this evening and after the merge I'll add a redirect from all Lame related pages to this one.--Beto 15:51, 13 September 2006 (CDT)

Finally I ended the revision :)--Beto 19:14, 14 September 2006 (CDT)

LAME compiles Win32

http://rarewares.org/dancer/dancer.php?f=1 is linked at this Wiki page. But at http://rarewares.org/mp3.html I can only find http://rarewares.org/dancer/dancer.php?f=107 The two archives contain different lame.exe and lame_enc.dll. Why is that? Here's another compile: http://mitiok.maresweb.org/ This is confusing! --Pohli 13:16, 27 September 2006 (CDT)

IMO we should not give direct link to the downloader; everytime a new build is outed, the direct link becomes outdated. Better to link only to Rareware's MP3 page. --pepoluan (talk | contribs) 13:46, 27 September 2006 (CDT)
Agree. If noone oposes we should make the change.--Beto (talk | contribs) 15:48, 27 September 2006 (CDT)
PLUS, LAME binaries are illegal in many countries. It's easy to use google. Elliottmobilehttp://wiki.hydrogenaudio.org/images/c/c1/Fishysig.PNG 02:10, 28 September 2006 (CDT)

This issue was resolved in October 2006. Since then, the wiki only recommends and links to the builds at Rarewares. —Mjb (talk) 00:21, 11 September 2014 (BST)

LAME 4.0a14

There are versions of LAME numbered beyond 3.100 that have been published: most notably, 4.0a6 and 4.0a14. 4.0a14 apparently was released on June 28, 2005, so it is actually quite old - NOT a newer version than 3.100. It might be worth noting this on the LAME page so that no one gets confused. 98.240.142.9 05:25, 8 October 2014 (BST)
