lame wav mp3

Some command line examples

• Fixed bit rate 128kbps encoding:
  lame sample.wav sample.mp3
  
  
• Fixed bit rate jstereo 128kbps encoding, high quality (recommended):
  lame -h sample.wav sample.mp3
  
  
• Average bit rate 112kbps encoding:
  lame --abr 112 sample.wav sample.mp3
  
  
• Fast encode, low quality (no psycho-acoustics):
  lame -f sample.wav sample.mp3
  
  
• Variable bitrate (use -V n to adjust quality/filesize):
  lame -h -V 6 sample.wav sample.mp3
  
  
• Streaming mono 22.05 kHz raw pcm, 24 kbps output:
  cat inputfile | lame -r -m m -b 24 -s 22.05 -- > output
  
  
• Streaming mono 44.1 kHz raw pcm, with downsampling to 22.05 kHz:
  cat inputfile | lame -r -m m -b 24 --resample 22.05 -- > output
