Fraunhofer l3enc was the first public software able to encode PCM (.wav) files to the MP3 format. The first public version was released in July 1994. This commandline tool was shareware and limited to 112 kbit/s. It was available for MS-DOS, Linux, Solaris, SunOS, NeXTstep and IRIX. A licence that allowed full use (encoding up to 320 kbit/s) cost 350 Deutsche Mark (DEM), about 250 US$. Since the release (9 September 1995) of Fraunhofer WinPlay3, the first realtime MP3 software player, people were able to store and play back MP3 files on PCs. For full playback quality (stereo) one would have needed to meet the minimum requirements of a 486DX2/66 processor. By the end of 1997 l3enc stopped being developed in favour of the development of MP3enc, which is the successor to l3enc.〔 It was often referred to as the “gold standard of encoders”.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://lame.sourceforge.net/links.php#Alternatives )〕 It was available for Windows, Linux, Solaris, SunOS, IRIX and Alpha. Development of MP3enc stopped in late 1998 to favour development of a parallel branch FhG had been developing for some time, called Fastenc. All of these programs are no longer actively marketed. An mp3 Surround encoder and mp3HD codec and Software Tools are now promoted on the Fraunhofer MP3 website.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.iis.fraunhofer.de/en/bf/amm/produkte/audiocodec/audiocodecs/mp3.html )〕 == See also == * LAME – free software codec used to encode/compress .mp3 audio 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「L3enc」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
