Hello everyone.

I've been working on rmps mp3 encoder at hobby.
It's still alpha — encoding speed is under realtime (so slower than LAME), and I think there are edge cases I haven't find yet. and the quality is same LAME or under yet.
But I want the impression on an encoder.
So I decide to publish on here for everyone could try.

Also I'm readying for publish the source code.
the binary is here.

usage is very simple.
ABR: rmps.exe --abr XX -i input.wav -o output.mp3
CBR: rmps.exe -b XX -i input.wav -o output.mp3

Anyway, Thank you so much for interested my project.

questions to answer:

• how does it compare to ogg?
• how does it compare to standard mp3?
• why are you making this?
• does it solve the mp3 problem of not starting audio at 0:00 and instead having a delay?

i'm seeing a pattern of newcomers with first post on KVR offering some stuff that usually looks like written by chatbots
in this case, no source code, just some binary plus "i swear there's no virus in it, honestly"

so i wonder what is this doing in the DSP forum
he doesn't have a DSP question, he must know everything, he made a fricken mp3 encoder from scratch (how many of the "old" KVR members have done that?).
what he actually wants is....? their precious ear to have a listen? do the testing

oh wait, actually, he didn't say it was written by chatbots, so maybe scratch that

Great! The source code might be interesting from an educational point of view for anyone who wants to learn how mp3 really works.

I certainly didn't and I would have no intrinsic motivation to do such a thing. It's probably a messy endeavour! That's indeed impressive.

i don't know, maybe i'm becomming old (well, i am) and paranoid, but

for example, i can fairly well tell you why i went to the huge trouble to try to make my sonogram program at the time when i didn't know the needed things to make it and it was a big pain and it was unknown whether i'll make it work at all..

i don't need this, i make .mp3s with Audacity or whatever, and it does it with whatever under the hood...
so i wanna know what was the motivation of making a new mp3 encoder at all (just curious)

It didn't prove no virus:
I'm getting "Trojan.Malware.300983.susgen" detection on your first link ("2/69 security vendors flagged this file as malicious"), I'm not going to open your google share, sorry.
