Free lame mp3 recorder software for linux

LAME is short from LAME Aint an MP3 Encoder and is a research project for learning about and improving MP3 encoding technology. LAME includes an MP3 encoding library, simple frontend application, a much-improved psycho-acoustic model (GPSYCHO), and a graphical frame analyzer (MP3x).
Please note that any commercial use (including distributing the LAME encoding engine in a free encoder) may require a patent license from Thomson Multimedia.
Main features:
- Many improvements in quality in speed over ISO reference software. See history.
- MPEG1,2 and 2.5 layer III encoding.
- CBR (constant bitrate) and two types of variable bitrate, VBR and ABR.
- Encoding engine can be compiled as a shared library (Linux/UNIX), DLL or ACM codec (Windows)
- free format encoding and decoding
- GPSYCHO: a GPLd psycho acoustic and noise shaping model.
- Powerfull and easy to use presets
- Quality is comparable to FhG encoding engines and substantially better than most other encoders.
- Fast! Encodes faster than real time on a PII 266 at highest quality mode.
- MP3x: a GTK/X-Window MP3 frame analyzer for both .mp3 and unencoded audio files.

HTTP::Server::Simple::Recorder is Perl module for mixin to record HTTP::Server::Simples sockets.

SYNOPSIS

package MyServer;
use base qw/HTTP::Server::Simple::Recorder HTTP::Server::Simple::CGI/;

sub recorder_prefix { "path/to/logs/record" } # defaults to /tmp/http-server-simple-recorder

# logs to path/to/logs/record.34244.1.in,
# path/to/logs/record.34244.1.out,
# path/to/logs/record.34244.2.in,
# path/to/logs/record.34244.2.out, etc, if 34244 is the PID of the server

This module allows you to record all HTTP communication between an HTTP::Server::Simple-derived server and its clients. It is a mixin, so it doesnt itself subclass HTTP::Server::Simple; you need to subclass from both HTTP::Server::Simple::Recorder and an actual HTTP::Server::Simple subclass, and HTTP::Server::Simple::Recorder should be listed first.

Every time a client connects to your server, this module will open a pair of files and log the communication between the file and server to these files. Each connection gets a serial number starting at 1. The filename used is >, then a period, then the connection serial number, then a period, then either "in" or "out". recorder_prefix defaults to /tmp/http-server-simple-recorder, but you can override that in your subclass. For example, you might want to include the process ID.

This is a unified diff (you probably need GNU patch to apply it) to lame 3.58. Please note that this diff is now obsolete as recent beta versions of lame include a version of this code. Just type "make mp3rtp". The code was broken, but the CVS code is reported to work (and interoperate with playRTPMPEG) as of Feb 21 2000.

Please note that the output stream will only have the correct speed if the input is live recorded stream from your sound card or lame encodes exactly in real-time on your CPU!

RTP is the Realtime Transport Protocol as defined in RFC 1889. It is the transport mechanism of your choice to multicast an mp3 stream.

Bundle::MP3 is a bundle to install all MP3-related modules.

SimpleCDR-X was born in mid-June of 2001. It was clear to me that SimpleCDRs interface had limitations that could only be overcome by going to a GUI interface. I then proceeded to look at the various toolkits and then I discovered Glade.
Glade is perhaps one of the best programming utilities that I have found for Linux to date. It the development of a 2200 line interface much easier than it would have been otherwise. If Glade wasnt around I still might just be playing with the various toolkits instead of having a finished product. Glade allowed me to focus on functionality rather than trying to get the interface to look right with straight C code.
SimpleCDR-X like its brother SimpleCDR is a hybrid of C and C++. Most of the external utilities are managed by C++ classes called from the hybrid callbacks.c. The reason that I didnt opt to use GTK-- instead of the hybird was because most everyone already has GTK+, however, not everyone has GTK-- and some dont want to download a 1.5 MB file to compile or dig up the installation CDs.
Main features:
- Disc-At-Once CD copying
- Audio CD copying via cdrecord and CDparanoia or cdda2wav
- Audio CD Mastering
- MP3/OGG import via MADplay, LAME, or OGG123
- Import from CD via CDparanoia or cdda2wav
- Data CD Mastering
- Multi-session CD writing
- Rip tracks to wav
- Rip tracks to MP3/OGG on the fly via Blade Encode, LAME, or oggenc
- GTK+ Interface

Quick and Dirty Transcoder provides a simple shell script that adds transcoding support to Amarok using gstreamer.
The only prerequisites are that you have gstreamer installed and the appropriate plugins.
Quick and Dirty Transcoder works with transcoding when copying files to a media player and also adds a context menu to allow you to transcode files in your collection. When doing the latter, the transcoded file will be written to the same directory as the original file.
You can configure dirtyxcode by creating a file in your home directory ~/.dirtyxcode.sh. The format of the configuration is a shell script that will be sourced by dirtyxcode. You can use this to control how dirtyxcode constructs the gstreamer pipeline. For example, to change the flacencoder element add the following:
flac_enc="myflacencoder myflacencopt=foo"
You can also add options to the existing encoders by setting
< format >_enc_options, for example to change the preset quality
setting for the mp3 encoder (lame), add the following to your
~/.dirtyxcode.sh file.
mp3_enc_options="preset=extreme"
The default gstreamer plugins used by Quick and Dirty Transcoder are:
- wav: wavenc
- mp3: lame
- ogg: vorbisenc
- m4a: faac
- aac: faac
- flac: flacenc
