Full Version: EasyLame doesn't work
I just downloaded EasyLame 1.3 with Razorlame 1.1.5.1342 onto to my WinME PC and although it produces an MP3 file, it's unplayable. Could it be the player I use (Ultraplayer or Musicmatch or Windows Media Player) or is it a faulty MP3 file. If I open the file with Cool Edit Pro it tells me it's encountered Raw data, No header and what results is 41 seconds of white noise (should be a 4 minute song). Any ideas?
OK, I got rid of EasyLame, downloaded Lame 3.92 and EAC, pointed EAC at Lame.exe and tried again. EAC works fine, creates a Wave file, fires up Lame which appears on screen for less than a second and that's it: no MP3 file! OK, I'm not an expert at this so where am I going wrong? I would try using the command line instead of a front end but how do you get Lame to stand up for long enough to type anything in? Help.
And before anyone asks, it's not running on an overclocked machine.
Pipco:
Encoding with EasyLAME "out of the box" works fine here, using Winamp 2.81 to play the file. I have absolutely no clue what could be causing those problems, sorry!
What options did you use, and what source material did you encode from? And could you try to playback the file with Winamp or foobar2000?
Try this:
- Press F11, click the "External Compression" tab.
- Parameter passing scheme: "User Defined Encoder"
- File extension: ".mp3"
- Specify path to LAME.EXE.
- Additional commandline options: "--alt-preset standard %s %d"
- Disable "Use CRC check".
- The "Bit rate" and "High quality/Low quality" fields are ignored.
That should work.
You've got to open a new commandline window and launch LAME.EXE from there. Open up Explorer, navigate to the folder in which you have stored the LAME.EXE, press [Windows Key]+[R], type "command" (or "cmd" in Win2000/XP), and press [ENTER]. The you can launch LAME by typing "LAME <parameters> <input file> <output file>".
But you won't really want to run LAME from the commandline if you can avoid it.

Excellent job , Volcano.
Excellent job , Volcano.
Hehe, thanks. But remember that I just wrote the installer script and the documentation.
