Encoders - Decoders

LAME
(Freeware)
OS:
Languages: English
Description: Following the great history of GNU naming, LAME originally stood for LAME Ain't an Mp3 Encoder. 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 LGPL'd MP3 encoder, with speed and quality to rival all commercial competitors.

HarddiskOGG
(Freeware)
OS: Windows 9x/2000/XP
Languages: English
Description: Capture analog audio from line in or microphone directly to Ogg Vorbis/Wave/MP3 format. You should not use HarddiskOgg for CD to Ogg Vorbis/MP3 conversion. HarddiskOgg records from the analog sound card input. This means there will always be some quality loss due to the analog to digital converters on your sound card. Real CD rippers read the exact, digital audio data directly from the CD, which results in a much higher quality.
