LAME-3.97

Introduction to LAME

The LAME package contains an MP3 encoder and optionally, an MP3 frame analyzer. This is useful for creating and analyzing compressed audio files.

Install LAME by running the following commands:

./configure --prefix=/usr --enable-mp3rtp &&
make

To test the results, issue: make test.

Now, as the root user:

make install

--enable-mp3rtp: Builds the encode-to-RTP program.

--enable-mp3x: Builds the mp3x frame analyzer program (requires GTK+).

Installed Programs: lame, mp3rtp, and optionally, mp3x

Installed Library: libmp3lame.{so,a}

Installed Directories: /usr/include/lame and /usr/share/doc/lame

lame	creates MP3 audio files from raw PCM or `.wav` data.
mp3rtp	is used to encode MP3 with RTP streaming of the output.
mp3x	is a GTK based graphical MP3 frame analyzer used for debugging, development and studying MP3 frames produced by any encoder.
`libmp3lame.{so,a}`	libraries provide the functions necessary to convert raw PCM and WAV files to MP3 files.
