% LameXP Audio-Encoder Front-End – Manual
-Introduction
-============
+# Introduction #
LameXP is a graphical user-interface (front-end) for various of audio encoders: 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 many other operating systems.
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.
-Platform Support
-----------------
+## Platform Support##
**Tier #1:** LameXP is currently being developed on the following platforms:
*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 contemporary system.
-Output Formats (Encoders)
--------------------------
+## Output Formats (Encoders) ##
Currently the following output formats (audio encoders) are supported by LameXP:
* Uncompressed PCM / Waveform Audio File (WAV/RIFF)

-Install Instructions
-====================
+# Install Instructions #
This chapter explains how to install the LameXP software on your computer. If LameXP has already been installed on your computer, you may skip this chapter.
-Install the LameXP Software
----------------------------
+
+## Install the LameXP Software ##
Distribution packages of the LameXP software is provided in two different flavours: a self-running **setup program** and a **ZIP package**. For regular users, using the *setup program* is highly recommended!
-Portable Mode
--------------
+## Portable Mode ##
First of all, it is important to note that there is **no** such thing as a *separate* "portable version" or "portable edition" of the LameXP software. Instead, **all** versions of the LameXP software always *are* "portable" – in the sense that the LameXP software is *fully self-contained* and thus **no** additional dependencies (libraries, frameworks, codecs or whatsoever) need to be installed on the computer separately. Or, in other words, the LameXP software is designed to work "out of the box". And this applies regardless of whether you choose the setup program or the ZIP package!
-
-**Warning:** While the "portable mode" is in effect, it is the *user's* responsibility to ensure that LameXP will be provided with the proper access rights to save/load its configuration files to/from the LameXP installation directory!
+#### Warning ####
+
+While the "portable mode" is in effect, it is the *user's* responsibility to ensure that LameXP will be provided with the proper access rights to save/load its configuration files to/from the LameXP program directory!
+
+Note that the directories ``C:\Program Files (x86)`` and ``C:\Program Files`` usually are "protected" by the operating system, so LameXP may **not** be able to write into these directories.
### Disable the Portable Mode ###
*Note:* After the "portable mode" has been *disabled*, any configurations files that may have been created in the LameXP installation directory will **no** longer be recognized. Therefore, you can delete these files safely…
-Install the AAC Encoder
------------------------
+## Install the AAC Encoder ##
For legal reasons, the AAC (Advanced Audio Coding) encoder can **not** be included in the official LameXP distribution packages. Therefore, you need to download and install the AAC encoder *manually*. Don't worry, it's easy!
*Note:* You may run ``qaac.exe --check`` from the [command prompt](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cmd.exe) to ensure that QAAC has been set up correctly. Expected output is ``qaac 2.xx, CoreAudioToolbox x.x.x.x``.
-Tutorial (Step-by-Step Guide)
-=============================
+
+# Tutorial (Step-by-Step Guide) #
This tutorial will teach you, step by step, how to convert your audio files using the LameXP software. The tutorial assumes that LameXP is already installed on your computer.
-Source Files
-------------
+## Source Files ##
First of all, you need to add all **source files** that you want to convert. So switch to the "Source Files" tab, just in case that tab is not active already, and then click the "Add File(s)" button.
*Did you know?* Files can also be added via [Drag & Drop](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drag_and_drop). Just grab the files that you want to add in your Explorer window and drop them onto the LameXP main window (or onto the LameXP "dropbox" widget).
-Output Directory
-----------------
+## Output Directory ##
Next, you need to choose the **output directory**, i.e. the directory where the converted files will be saved. Switch to the "Output Directory" tab and choose the desired output directory from the directory tree view.
*Did you know?* If you enable the "Save output files in the same directory where the input file is located" option, each output file will be saved to the same location where the corresponding source file resides.
-Compression Settings
---------------------
+## Compression Settings ##
Finally, you need to choose your **compression settings**. First, and most important, you must decide for an output *audio format (encoder)*. Depending on your needs and preferences, you can choose between [MP3](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MP3), [Ogg/Vorbis](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vorbis), [Opus](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opus_%28audio_format%29), [AAC/MP4](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advanced_Audio_Coding), [FLAC](https://xiph.org/flac/) and others.
*Did you know?* You can click on the "Reset" link at any time in order to reset all available settings for all available encoders to their factory defaults.
-Processing
-----------
+## Processing ##
When everything has been set up properly, the time has come to actually start the encoding process. So simply click the "Encode Now" button in order to get going!

-Developer Center
-================
+# Developer Center #
While LameXP originally was written in Delphi/Pascal, the current version 4 series of the software has been re-written in the [**C++**](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C%2B%2B) programming language. LameXP v4 uses the [*Qt cross-platform application framework*](http://www.qt.io/) and provides full [*Unicode*](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unicode) support. Furthermore, LameXP is tightly coupled with the [*MUtilities*](https://github.com/lordmulder/MUtilities) library, a vast collection of "utility" routines and classes to extend the Qt framework. Build files are currently provided for *Microsoft Visual Studio* only. Linux support is currently provided via [*Wine*](https://www.winehq.org/); a native Linux port of LameXP is planned for a future version.
-Source Code Access
-------------------
+## Source Code Access ##
The source code of the **LameXP** software is managed using the [*Git*](http://git-scm.com/) version control system. The Git repository can be *cloned* from one of the official Git mirrors:
*Remarks:* In case you are new to Git or want to extend your knowledge, have a look at the [*Pro Git*](http://git-scm.com/book/en/v2) book by Scott Chacon! For Windows users, we highly recommend using [*MSYS Git*](http://msysgit.github.com/) in conjunction with the superb [*Tortoise Git*](http://tortoisegit.googlecode.com/) front-end.
-Build Prerequisites
--------------------
+## Build Prerequisites ##
LameXP is currently being developed and built using the following development tools and libraries:
* [GnuPG](ftp://ftp.gnupg.org/gcrypt/binary/) – the GNU Privacy Guard v1.4.x
-Qt as Static Libraries
-----------------------
+## Qt as Static Libraries ##
In order to create a "fully static" build of LameXP, i.e. a build that does *not* depend on any "external" DLL files (except for the obligatory operating system DLL's that you cannot get around), you'll need to compile Qt as "static" libraries. The official Qt web-site *does* provide pre-compiled Qt libraries. However, they only provide DLL versions, they do *not* provide "static" libraries. Consequently, you need to build the required "static" Qt libraries yourself. The following simple instructions should make it easy to build Qt from the sources and as "static" libraries:
