I've serached for the LAME ACM file and the only one I found, was the one available at rarewares.

I have to questions:

1) Is there any ohter LAME ACM available?

2) How does the quality of the LAME ACM 3.92 (@ rarewares) compares to the current recommended LAME compile?

Thank You!

hmm, a quick search gave me a lot of sources to download lame acm from, e.g. http://fin.dawnload.net/audio_ohjelmat/mp3...at/lame_acm.cfm
it always seems to be build 20020202 (which I guess is the date?).
I don't know though, if this is the same one as on rarewarez (cheers Roberto wink.gif )

edit: answer for q. 2): I guess that all stuff at rarewares is mostly up to date, if it comes to quality. the stuff hosted there is recomended here, so...

The ACM is included with the 3.93.1 and 3.94alpha compiles. It does not compile cleanly on 3.90.2/3.

In reality, the 3.92 compile (ICL 4.5) at Rarewares is, IIRC, pretty much identical to 3.90.2, ie., it differs from 3.90.3 in that the '-Z' switch has not been added to the alt presets.

The TODO with the 3.93.1 release points out:

- known bug : when recording, converting, and recording a lame_close() call fail
- add the preset modes (and alt-preset too) in the config
- allow decompression the same way as in the command-line
- allow VBR mode
- allow channel resampling (mono to stereo / stereo to mono)
- allow internal resampling (difference in the format suggestion)
- use global pointers for string
- use the bitrate/freq tables from LAME

/ add the decoding engine

so you cannot use the ACM in -alt-preset standard mode and, other posts here suggest that you don't get access to the latest psychic model (whatever that is!).
