How to write mp3 frames from PCM data (C/C++)?

How to write mp3 frames (not full mp3 files with ID3 etc) from PCM data?

I have something like PCM data (for ex 100mb) I want to create an array of mp3 frames from that data. How to perform such operation? (for ex with lame or any other opensource encoder)

What do I need:

  • Open Source Libs for encoding.
  • Tutorials and blog articles on How to do it, about etc.
Solution

  • You should be able to use LAME. It has a -t command line switch that turns off the INFO header in the output (otherwise present in frame 0). If that still leaves too much bookkeeping data, you should be able to write a separate tool to strip that away.
