In fact it's so surprising that there doesn't seem to be a COM-enabled LAME, given that this would enable many more less-expert developers to use the encoder easily, that I start to wonder what the reason might be? Is it concern about the MP3 licensing issue, which perhaps might assume greater proportions if a COM-enabled LAME were released with its potential for much greater usage than the current version. Are there some technical issues that I'm ignorant of? Or are the primary LAME developers perhaps a little reluctant to make things too easy for developers in the Windows world, especially the less expert ones?
The main issue of Lame developpers is lack of time. You are welcome to write and submit a COM interface if you find it usefull.
It is not in Lame yet because:
*COM is win32 specific, and the developper needs to be using win32 to write it, which is not the case of all Lame developpers.
*we (at least I) are not so sure that using COM is easier than to link with a C dll for a beginner.
