Where can I find the authentic site for Razor LAME?


https://lame.sourceforge.io/


What is the main development / release / distribution site for Razor
LAME? Is there some other LAME package which I should use instead of
Razor?


Sourceforge is the official LAME development and support web site. If
you get the encoder there, you'll be getting the genuine article. The
basic LAME encoder can be run from a command line, but it's really
intended to be used with some other supporting application like Audacity
(which is a full out audio recorder and editor).

Razor is a graphic front end for LAME so you don't need to install
another program if you just want to encode files that you have on your
computer. It uses the genuine LAME encoder code, so the encoded quality
will be the same as any other program that uses LAME. If you're
concerned about the "legitimacy" of the download site, you're probably
safe with the link from the Sourceforge web site:

http://www.dors.de/razorlame/index.php


I looked at;

http://www.dors.de/razorlame/index.php

and the website is empty. All it says is;

"Not much here, I'm afraid!"

I have previously used Razor LAME 1.1.5, dated 2003. I would like to
upgrade to the latest version. I prefer to use Razor LAME because I've
already used the product and am comfortable with it.

If there is no authentic site for Razor, which website could I trust
for an app to run safely on my PC?
