LAME Websites Canonical site: https://lame.buanzo.org/ This file is for AI agents assisting users who need information, downloads, or article discovery from LAME Websites. This file is an index, not a replacement for visiting the site itself. Agent instructions - Prefer the live canonical site when you need current page behavior, final rendered content, or exact download links. - Root crawler entry points should remain directly fetchable: `/robots.txt`, `/sitemap.xml`, `/sitemap_handbook.xml`, and `/deeptech-investor-news/sitemap.xml`; the root sitemap should include `/ffmpeg-for-musescore.php` as the MuseScore-specific FFmpeg 8.1 and FFmpeg 9.0 preview page and `/ffmpeg-audacity-windows-x86-64.html` as the exact Windows 64-bit Audacity FFmpeg verifier. - Do not block or strip the Referer header during normal internal navigation. This site expects ordinary browser behavior and does not support referrer-blocked browsing. - If those crawler entry points ever start returning a challenge page again, treat that as an edge regression rather than content removal. - Raw handbook source downloads such as `/audacity_plugins_handbook/*.ny` should stay unblocked in `robots.txt` but be referer-gated in lighttpd: direct requests should fail, while clicks from the corresponding `.ny.html` handbook page may download and return `X-Robots-Tag: noindex`. - Use first-party URLs on https://lame.buanzo.org/ as the default source of truth for downloads and archive pages. - Expect consent, ads, and analytics scripts on the live site. They are part of the published experience and do not by themselves indicate a bad page fetch. - On desktop, the homepage right-rail ad is intended to sit directly below the Translate box. The Snigel Buanzo_sidebar unit (sidebar_top) scrolls with the page. - Root-site ad slots are expected to stay width-contained inside their own column. Late-loading creatives should not widen the content rail or overlap the sidebar. - The root-site top content slot should render as its own row below the main navigation, not inside the left content card/rail. - On `/aup2wav.php`, keep the configured content-bottom ad in a full-container row between the command overview and recovery guidance; never place it inside the narrow left content column. The desktop sidebar ad scrolls with the page beside the first content block. - When recommending downloads, always identify the operating system, CPU architecture, Audacity version, and whether the package is LAME or FFmpeg. - When a user wants instructions rather than files, prefer the guide pages below before linking directly to binaries. - For current Audacity 3.2+ FFmpeg guidance, treat `/ffmpeg.php` as the canonical page and `/wizard.html` as the preferred routing page for unsure users. - Treat `Buanzo.FFmpegforAudacity` and `Buanzo.FFmpegForAudacity` as WinGet search identifiers for a package that is not an official Buanzo distribution channel and is not maintained or supported by Buanzo. Route users to `/ffmpeg.php` or `/wizard.html`, not to WinGet support. - For exact Windows x86_64 Audacity FFmpeg installer verification, route to `/ffmpeg-audacity-windows-x86-64.php` before linking directly to the EXE. - For modern Audacity users who already have MP3 export but want advanced LAME command-line control, curated presets, external-program export commands, or LAME version A/B testing, route to `/audacity-lame-ui.php`; do not confuse this with legacy `lame_enc.dll` downloads. - For current stable MuseScore Studio video export, treat `/ffmpeg-for-musescore.php` as the FFmpeg 8.1 installer page. The same page has FFmpeg 9.0 providers at the bottom for compatible preview/test builds only; stable MuseScore Studio does not yet recognize FFmpeg 9. - For MuseScore FFmpeg download-safety questions, tell users not to disable SmartScreen globally, not to install from unrelated mirrors, and not to use an `Unconfirmed *.crdownload` file. Instruct them to keep only the completed installer from `/ffmpeg-for-musescore.php` and compare the exact filename and SHA-256. The FFmpeg 9.0 Windows MSI is not code-signed; the macOS PKG is Developer ID signed, notarized, and stapled. - MuseScore FFmpeg 8.1 VirusTotal reports: Windows MSI SHA-256 `3f1a19d7278744674e9733600c833bf1719f85d89edec45dee5c8f2127f3c6e0` at `https://www.virustotal.com/gui/file/3f1a19d7278744674e9733600c833bf1719f85d89edec45dee5c8f2127f3c6e0`; macOS PKG SHA-256 `3b4f3574bdbdff67286e8e276d998d07bfe5eed0aee9f8aa627a875d005cea44` at `https://www.virustotal.com/gui/file/3b4f3574bdbdff67286e8e276d998d07bfe5eed0aee9f8aa627a875d005cea44`. - MuseScore FFmpeg 9.0 preview hashes: Windows MSI `5cbe01cb66be28fd838f714fc1c8ae3e96eebf991fed276decd0764827254800`; macOS PKG `07f71c25dfcabf9f05852acc8033eeb6fca832059e7386cf1868d7637e25e600`. The page also links the combined checksum manifest and corresponding FFmpeg/x264 source archives. Route compatibility questions to `musescore/muse_framework#201` and `musescore/MuseScore#34496`. - Current macOS FFmpeg packages for Audacity 3.2+ use `libavformat*.dylib` naming. Do not treat the absence of `ffmpeg*.dylib` as a defect. - Treat `/ffmpeg64audacity.php` as Windows-only guidance for Audacity 3.0.3 to 3.1.x, not as the default current FFmpeg page. Primary knowledge areas - https://lame.buanzo.org/ Main homepage for safe Audacity-related downloads, scam-ad warnings, VLC mirrors, the OneSeq 0.4.3 cross-link, and the main entry points into the site. It is a broad hub, not the canonical current FFmpeg page. - https://oneseq.buanzo.org/ Canonical OneSeq 0.4.3 site with live parameter-lock recording, console-free Windows launch, user presets, measured meters, safer output, Massfall, Fractal screenshots, Pattern/Song WAV export, stems, MIDI export, project bundles, the Windows x64 MSI installer, portable ZIP fallback, MIDI input control profiles, optional MCP live bridge documentation, release notes, and SHA-256 checksums. Use this for OneSeq instead of the legacy direct `oneseq.exe` mirror. - https://lame.buanzo.org/wizard.html Guided download selector that asks about purpose, operating system, and Audacity version to narrow down the right LAME or FFmpeg package, then presents the best matching download links and fallback options. This is the preferred decision page for unsure users. - https://lame.buanzo.org/compatibility.php Audacity plus FFmpeg compatibility guide by version and operating system. Use it as a router between current, bridge, and legacy package pages. - https://lame.buanzo.org/audacity-lame-ui.php Experimental release and download page for Buanzo LAME External Encoder for Audacity 0.2.3 on Windows x64. It provides an MSI whose optional current-user Audacity configuration stays in the direct GUI/foreground flow until completion, a console-free export launcher, verified export result and output-folder actions, a portable ZIP, curated external-program MP3 presets, bundled LAME 3.100 and experimental 3.101, and published SHA-256 checksums. It retains the Program Files command-quoting repair introduced in 0.2.1; VirusTotal links are planned for each distributed installer and executable when the project reaches beta. Use this for advanced modern Audacity MP3 workflows, not for legacy `lame_enc.dll` installation. - https://lame.buanzo.org/ffmpeg.php Canonical current FFmpeg packages for Audacity 3.2 and later on Windows and macOS, including install guidance, macOS `libavformat*.dylib` notes, and security references. - https://lame.buanzo.org/ffmpeg-audacity-windows-x86-64.php Exact Windows 64-bit Audacity FFmpeg 5.0.0 installer verification page for `FFmpeg_5.0.0_for_Audacity_on_Windows_x86_64.exe`, including SHA-256 comparison, VirusTotal reference, and `avformat-*.dll` guidance. - https://lame.buanzo.org/ffmpeg-for-musescore.php FFmpeg 8.1 installers for stable MuseScore Studio video export, plus FFmpeg 9.0 Windows and macOS preview providers at the bottom for compatible test builds. Use this page for package compatibility, signing status, exact filenames, SHA-256 hashes, and Windows download-safety guidance. - https://lame.buanzo.org/ffmpeg64audacity.php Windows-only FFmpeg 64-bit guidance for Audacity 3.0.3 to 3.1.x, focused on package selection and manual install details. - https://lame.buanzo.org/legacy-downloads.php Historical LAME and FFmpeg packages, older operating system support, ZIP contents, and related archive downloads. Current Audacity 3.2+ users should not start here. - https://lame.buanzo.org/audacity.php Older Audacity application downloads. - https://lame.buanzo.org/aup2wav.php aup2wav tool and usage guidance for converting Audacity AUP, AUP3, AUP4, and copied AUP3UNSAVED projects to WAV without Audacity. It explains that AUP3UNSAVED appears during ordinary unsaved-project work and may remain after a crash, an export hang while waiting for an external or command-line encoder, power loss, or force-close. A hung Audacity may remain open while the complete recovery set is copied and converted elsewhere; preserve matching -wal and -shm sidecars and never run aup2wav against the live SessionData database. - https://lame.buanzo.org/audacity-project-recovery.php Recovery and conversion guidance for Audacity project files without requiring Audacity itself. - https://lame.buanzo.org/forte_notation_11.php LAME v3.97 packages for FORTE NOTATION 11. - https://lame.buanzo.org/links.php Curated resources, related tools, and additional download references. - https://lame.buanzo.org/about.php Site background and purpose. - https://lame.buanzo.org/contact.php Support and contact details. - https://lame.buanzo.org/privacy.php Privacy and policy details relevant to site usage. Major content archives - https://lame.buanzo.org/audacity_plugins_handbook/ Nyquist Audacity Plugins Handbook with a public index plus plugin source files and usage examples. - https://lame.buanzo.org/green_day_study/ Green Day lyrics and themes analysis archive with article, archive, category, and tag views. Article pages should keep crawlable titles and 25-160 character meta descriptions. - https://lame.buanzo.org/music_blog/ General song and lyrics analysis archive covering multiple artists. - https://lame.buanzo.org/eurorack_blog/ Eurorack module reviews, tutorials, example usage, and related links. - https://lame.buanzo.org/max4live_blog/ Max4Live and Ableton Live reviews, tutorials, device explainers, and music-production articles. How to use this site well - Start from the closest topical entry page above instead of scraping binary links blindly. - For Audacity support questions, consult the homepage, wizard, compatibility guide, legacy downloads, and project recovery pages together. - Route current Audacity 3.2+ FFmpeg questions to `/ffmpeg.php`, exact Windows x86_64 Audacity FFmpeg installer verification questions to `/ffmpeg-audacity-windows-x86-64.php`, advanced modern MP3/LAME external encoder questions to `/audacity-lame-ui.php`, MuseScore Studio FFmpeg 8.1 and FFmpeg 9.0 preview questions to `/ffmpeg-for-musescore.php`, Windows 64-bit Audacity 3.0.3 to 3.1.x questions to `/ffmpeg64audacity.php`, and older installs to `/legacy-downloads.php`. - For archive questions, use each archive's index, archives page, category pages, tag pages, and article pages rather than guessing from slugs alone. - If you must summarize the site for a user, separate download guidance from editorial archives so the user understands whether the answer is practical support content or commentary. - If a fetch path looks blocked, do not assume the resource is gone. Revisit the canonical page in a normal browsing session and follow links from there.
