1 Introduction

LameXP is a graphical user-interface (GUI front-end) for various of audio encoders and decoders: It allows you to convert your audio files from one audio format to another one in the most simple way. Despite its name, LameXP is not only a front-end for the LAME MP3 encoder, but supports a wide range of output formats, including MP3, Ogg Vorbis, Opus, AAC/MP4, FLAC, AC-3 and Wave Audio. The number of supported input formats is even bigger! Furthermore LameXP not only runs on Windows XP, but also on Windows 7, 8 and 10 as well as other operating systems. 32-Bit and 64-Bit systems are supported.

Since all the encoders and decoders that are used by the LameXP software are already built-in (with one exception), you do not need to install any additional software, such as "Codecs", "Filters" or "Plug-ins", on your computer. Everything works "out of the box". You can even use LameXP as a "portable" application, i.e. you can run LameXP directly off your USB stick. Moreover, LameXP was designed for batch processing. This means that you can convert a huge number of audio files, e.g. a complete album or even your entire music collection, in just a single step. At the same time, LameXP is able to process several audio files concurrently, so it can take full advantage of modern multi-core processors! However, LameXP is not only optimized for speed, it also provides excellent sound quality by using the most sophisticated audio encoders available.

In addition to that, LameXP provides full support for meta information, including cover artwork. So when converting your audio files with LameXP, any existing meta information will be retained – to the highest possible extent. Of course, there also is an easy-to-use meta-tag editor for adding new meta information or managing the existing meta information. On top of it all, LameXP provides full Unicode support, for meta information as well as file names, thus problems with "intentional" character sets are avoided. Likewise, thanks to our translators, the user-interface of the LameXP software is available in many different languages, including English, German, Spanish and Chinese. Last but not least, LameXP supports a number of post-processing filters, including sample rate conversion, normalization (gain adjustment), tone adjustment as well as down-mixing.

1.1 Platform Support

Tier #1: LameXP is currently being developed on the following platforms:

Tier #2: The following platforms should work too, but aren't tested extensively:

The following legacy platforms are not actively supported any longer:

Remarks: Windows XP has reached "end of life" on April 8th, 2014. This means that Microsoft has stopped all support for Windows XP. Thus no updates or bugfixes are made available to regular Windows XP users since that date, not even security fixes! Thus, all the security vulnerabilities that have been discovered after the deadline – and all the security vulnerabilities that are going to be discovered in the future – will persists forever! Consequently, using Windows XP has become a severe security risk, and the situation is only going to get worse. While LameXP will continue to support Windows XP (note that Service Pack 3 is required!) for the foreseeable future, we highly recommend everybody to update to a less antiquated system now. Windows XP support will be discontinued in a future version, when most users have migrated to a modern system.

1.2 Output Formats (Encoders)

Currently the following output formats (audio encoders) are supported by LameXP:

1.3 Input Formats (Decoders)

Currently the following input formats (audio decoders) are supported by LameXP:
