So vendors doesn't have to worry about that issue. Also very nice for user is, patents for MP3 (as a format) expired in 2017.
Roots of MP3 format are almost 30 years old now and it's pretty much assumed, its encoders was already optimised as much as possible. However in general, MP3 encoders are pretty much solved problem. It's very mature project with lot of contribution, listening tests and continuous improvements. Development of own encoder isn't trivial and LAME has already 22 years of its development. Not just because it's free, but because it is best. In vast majority of cases, when some another software (be it DAW or some multi-format converter tool) has MP3 encoding support, it actually uses this very library underneath. But non-free doesn't mean better.Īrguably the best current MP3 encoder is LAME, which happens to be open-source library and related command-line utility. The one I am using (NHC Switch) is something I purchased and it seems ok.I see, what you're looking for. I was thinking non-free because I thought maybe you could get better quality in software you have to pay for.
