what mp3 encoder does switch use?

[decoy11]

Hi a friend of mine recommended me this program and i was just wondering what encoder it uses

 

I have been using the LAME encoder for a while now and i was just wondering if it uses the same encoder but adds a GUI to it?

 

 

thanks for the replies

 

never mind i found what codec it uses LAME 3.82.

I however find it weird though that its using such an old version wondering if it could be updated to the 3.9x

It is 6 years newer

you're actually free to use the latest version if you want, just download the latest LAME 3.9x exe file, and replace it with the file in Program Files\NCH Swift Sound\Components (mp3el.exe - rename the lame exe to match this name).

 

thats it, switch will now use the new lame !

 

we're currently deciding whether to "ship" the latest LAME with switch, we usually won't do it unless it does something that the older version can't do (or doesn't do as well). the latest LAME looks quite good so theres a chance we'll do it.
