Mukoli Out_Lame Encoder 1.61 (with Lame 3.90/1.26) - plug-in-encoder (243 Kb), Permitting to convert any file or files, which are played with yours of Winamp in MP3 by the help of a Lame-encoder. There is a possibility to change version Lame by a simple replacement DLL on newer, for example, for the fresher version - 3.91. Defect (for someone) - French interface.

• mp3PRO Audio Decoder v1.0 - plug-in-decoder for Winamp (174 Kb), allows to play MP3Pro-files with anyone bitrate. Also begins to decode through itself and usual MP3-files and makes it of very qualitatively, the technologies Fraunhofer have an effect. Differences from previous (0.98 beta 5) versions: the quality of decoding is improved, the errors originating for want of to work with the VBR-files MP3s, and also error disconnecting plug-in for MP3-files are fitted. Now mp3PRO-decoder is used with the standard editor of ID3-tags from Winamp'a and normally works with playlists, containing an empty entry.

• OGG Drop 1.0 RC3 (Russian) - utility containing an encoder in the format OGG Vorbis (117 Kb). The given version of codec - RC3, differs from the previous themes, that except for optimization for low bitrates (that removes it in the competitors MP3Pro), the quality of sounding is improved, the choice of various variants variable bitrate is added, and also the possibility of the task certain bitrate (is natural, too variable). Compression/quality thus is possible more thinly to control a ratio and "to emulate" constant битрейт. The program has maximum simple russian interface. To begin coding it is necessary simply to drag on the window of the program the WAV-file(s) and the process will be started! Tunings slightly - there is only choice of quality, option of an entry of errors for want of coding in the log-file and mode Always On Top. Are supported bitrates from 64 up to 350 kBps for want of to sampling rate 44 кГц. In the given version the code sizing almost in 1,5 times is reduced! The defect - now degree of compression is set not as obvious bitrate, and kind of factor (percents), that is not so convenient.
  The previous version of the program (1.0 RC2) is accessible here (166 Kb).

• GoGo-no-Coda for Windows v2.39c - fastest MP3-encoder (567 Kb), together with one from most qualitative on the recalls many "pro". Is based on a code Lame 3.88. The defect - has slightly Japanese interface in the beginning, but in the total all on English. If it is necessary to recode many files in MP3 or MP2 - the best choice.

Editors

• New! Mp3DirectCut 1.19 - The editor of the frames for MPEG-files (64,8 Kb). The work with the frames makes editing even of large tracks fast and easy from it by graphic submission. You can do selections for scraps, to save some chosen areas in the file or to change loudness, there is a possibility of normalization. There is a possibility to use FadeIn and FadeOut. For want of all for want of it is of any loss of quality! Because anything from your file will not be anew coded. You can hear an obtained outcome and even to make an entry new MP3s immediately on the rigid disk. The work with MP2 and MP3, infortunately is supported, does not support yet MP3Pro, but this business of time. The previous version of the program (1.17) is accessible here (64 Kb). Lite version 1.17 (23,6 Kb), without the description as GIF'a is accessible.

• mp3Trim 1.77a - One more editor of the frames for MPEG-files (198 Kb) . Mp3Trim is intended for clearing, scraps and normalization MP3 of files. It is necessary to notice, that the clearing is necessary to majority MP3 (especially 128 kBps and below) and reduces a file size. A scrap is intended for files, which contain undesirablis noise. The normalization is used for magnification or diminution of loudness MP3. Mp3Trim works only on the boundaries of the MPEG-frames, not investigating in their contents. The use mp3Trim ONLY for scraps MP3Pro (normalization is possible, FadeIn and FadeOut spoil the file), is checked in practice!
