Dynamic-link library - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Essentially, it's just a library of code that performs certain functions. They're useful because multiple programs can make use of them. For example, lame_enc.dll is a DLL that is used to convert audio files to MP3s. Any program that needs to perform that operation can simply use that DLL instead of having to write that code themselves.
