Browse independent Windows builds from selected LAME version series. Where a series had multiple maintenance releases, the archive provides the final bug-fix release selected for that version line rather than every intermediate release.
A Windows build of the 4.0 main branch, provided for comparison with the established 3.x releases and newer development work. It should be treated as a development-line package rather than a replacement for the long-standing 3.100 stable release.
A Windows build of the 3.101 source line, preserving the familiar 3.x version family while incorporating development after 3.100. It is listed separately from the site’s modified cVBRb builds.
The final official stable release in this collection. It preserves output behaviour very close to 3.99.5 in the site measurements, while the measured plain Windows build shows a substantial speed regression.
Looking for LAME 3.99? This archive provides LAME 3.99.5, the final bug-fix release selected for the LAME 3.99 version series.
Looking for LAME 3.98? This archive provides LAME 3.98.4, the final bug-fix release selected for the LAME 3.98 version series.
The bridge between LAME’s older VBR implementation and the much faster algorithm that defined later releases. In this branch the newer path remained an explicit choice rather than the default.
