LAME is a library that allows some programs to encode MP3 files. LAME is free, but in some countries you may need to pay a license fee in order to legally encode MP3 files.

Audacity is a free and open source Audio Editor which allows you to transform ogg to mp3, transform mp3 to ogg, transform vinyls to mp3 or ogg, do any kind of home recording, remove noise, etc. Is WONDERFUL. I have used it to record and mix some of my bands songs. Feel free to check out this page to download some songs.

To use LAME (or FFmpeg) with Audacity, you can put it anywhere you want, but the first time you want to export an MP3 file, Audacity will ask you for the location of this file, so you will want to remember where you put it.

TO DOWNLOAD Lame and FFmpeg for Windows, click links BELOW:

The Audacity(r) QA Team suggests users download the ZIP version instead of the .EXE or .DMG (for Mac) versions. If you use the installers, and Audacity does not detect LAME, download the ZIP option, extract the files inside to a well known folder, then open Audacity, go to Library Preferences and configure it to search on the well known folder you extracted the files to.

NOTICE: MacAfee and at least one other antivirus flags this site as unsafe, which is a false positive. FILES I HOST ARE SAFE, but always check your downloaded files with www.virustotal.com.

SpeedFan is a program that monitors voltages, fan speeds and temperatures in computers with hardware monitor chips.

 (I used this with dell desktop machines, didn't work well with HP ZBook laptops) (from Speedfan site) SpeedFan is a program that monitors  voltages ,  fan speeds  and  temperatures  in computers with hardware monitor chips. SpeedFan can even access  S.M.A.R.T.  info and show  hard disk temperatures . SpeedFan supports  SCSI  disks too. SpeedFan can even change the FSB on some hardware (but this should be considered a bonus feature). SpeedFan can access  digital temperature sensors  and can  change fan speeds  accordingly, thus reducing noise. SpeedFan works fine with Windows 9x, ME, NT, 2000, 2003, XP, Vista, Windows 7, 2008, Windows 8,  Windows 10  and  Windows Server 2012 . It works with Windows 64 bit too.
