winlameIf you are looking for an easy to use music encoder you might want to give the latest version of winLame a try. Beta 1 of the 2009 release has just been made available on the official homepage of the project adding several improvements to previous versions of the lame frontend for the Windows operating system.

The program supports a wide variety of music formats and can also rip audio CDs (with the option to pull information from Freebd) easily. Some of the more popular formats that are supported by winLame include mp3, ogg, acc, wma and flac. The process is divided into four windows starting with the selection of the music on the local computer system. A file browser or drag and drop can be used to add audio files from the computer system. The option to include CD tracks is also available in this first screen.
