LAME is an open source audio encoder. It is NOT developed by Thalictrum. We give you a pre-packaged installer for Mac OS X as a convenience. All necessary information, license and source code can be freely obtained from the official LAME site.

The encoder is not a graphical application that you can double-click, but a command-line tool, usable from the Terminal application (which lives in the Utilities folder inside the Applications folder) or other graphical applications.

It can also be used by other applications. There are normal, double-clickable applications that use LAME to convert audio files to mp3.

Requirements:
OS X 10.6-10.7
Universal Binary
