30        LAME is a high quality MPEG Audio Layer III (MP3) encoder licensed under the
31        LGPL.
32    </p>
33    <p>
34        It is developed as an educational tool to be used in learning about MP3
35        encoding. The goal of the LAME project is to use the open source model to
36        improve the psycho acoustics, noise shaping and speed of MP3.
37    </p>
38    <p>
39        LAME is not for everyone - it is distributed as source code only and requires
40        the ability to use a C compiler. However, many popular ripping and encoding
41        programs include the LAME encoding engine, see: <a class="markedlink" href="links.html">Software
42        which uses LAME</a>.
43    </p>
44    <p> Using the LAME encoding engine (or other mp3 encoding technology) in your
45        software may require a <a href="links.html#Patents">patent license</a> in some
46        countries.
