LAME 3.xx
LAME Ain't an MP3 Encoder
http://www.sulaco.org/mp3
October 1999
Written by Mike Cheng (www.uq.net.au/~zzmcheng). Modified
and maintained by Mark Taylor (www.sulaco.org/mp3).
This is a patch against the ISO MPEG2 dist10 demonstration source. The
modifications are distributed under the GNU LESSER PUBLIC LICENSE
(LGPL, see www.gnu.org) with the following modification:
1. If you determine that distribution of LAME requires a patent license,
and you obtain a patent license, you may distribute LAME even though
redistribution of LAME may also require a patent license.
2. You agree not to enforce any patent claims for any aspect of
MPEG audio compression, or any other techniques contained in
the LAME source code.
============================================================================
see the file "INSTALL" for installation instructions.
see the file "USAGE" for the most up-to-date guide to the command line options.
see the file "LICENSE" for details on how to use LAME in non-GPL programs.
see the file "HACKING" for some general codeing guidelines
There is HTML documentation and a man page in the doc directory.
The HTML docs were contributed by Gabriel Bouvigne (www.mp3tech.org).
See www.mp3tech.org for more audio compression information and links.
============================================================================
The graphical frame analyzer uses the MPGLIB decoding engine, from the
MPG123 package, written by: Michael Hipp (www.mpg123.de) MPGLIB is
released under the GPL, while MPG123 is released under a more
restrictive agreement.
Various components of the patch are:
Copyrights (c) 1999 by Mark Taylor: new psy-model, quantization and bit allocation
Copyrights (c) 1998 by Michael Cheng: new transforms and many other improvements

The ISO demonstration source (distributed separately) has its own
patent, copyright and distribution issues. The code is freely
available, but any commercial use (including distributing free
encoders) may require a patent license from Thomson Multimedia. (see
