The packages that you can find on the mentioned website (Packages of LAME), the highest quality MP3 encoder contain: For the LAME project, you can find the latest versions of the LAME encoder on this website. As usual with open source, is normal to compile projects from the source code, however as we are in Windows, someone already did it for us. The first thing you gotta do is to obtain the LAME binary so we can start encoding the WAV files. Both quality and speed improvements are still happening, probably making LAME the only MP3 encoder still being actively developed.

Today, LAME is considered the best MP3 encoder at mid-high bitrates and at VBR, mostly thanks to the dedicated work of its developers and the open-source licensing model that allowed the project to tap into engineering resources from all around the world. LAME is a high-quality MPEG Audio Layer III (MP3) encoder licensed under the LGPL. Unless you can find a package somewhere other than the official repositories, you'll have to compile it from source.After researching for the best and most optimal tools to convert files in different formats, for WAV files, the LAME project ended up being my favorite solution to convert WAV files to MP3 easily and without losing so much quality, unlike other tools. By default, Debian and its derivatives do not provide an ffmpeg package with LAME support. If, when you use ffmpeg, the configuration doesn't include -enable-libmp3lame, it wasn't compiled with LAME support, and there's no way to get it to use LAME.
