Isn't the newest version of LAME 3.93.1??? I'm pretty sure thats the one I have. If so (and I'm pretty sure that is so) why is everyone using 3.90.3???

Short answer

QUOTE

LAME 3.90.3

Automatically uses Noise Shaping mode 1 with --alt-preset standard/extreme/insane.
No need to specify -Z in the commandline for highest quality anymore.

The DLL makes use of john33's modifications which map certain quality settings to the --alt-presets.

In simple words, Lame has been forken into three :
The Dibrom branch, latest is 3.90.3
The "regular" branch, latest is 3.93.1
And a branch about which I've lost track : Lame 3.94, or Lame 4, I don't remember, that is in the alpha stage.
