Running Lame
My laptop and PC both run Windows 7 and I have downloaded the Lame programme to concert to MP3, but in both cases the programme will not load, might there be a conflict somewhere? I tried downloading the alternative 3.98.4 build but got a message saying Insufficient Permissions

Re: Running Lame
I've never had that problem, but there are many other LAME-based encoders. It's an extra step, but you can save-as (export to) WAV, and then use another program for MP3 encoding.
XRECODE (FREE!!!) or XRECODE II ($15 USD) are handy for all kinds of audio conversions.
Or, you can use LameDrop (FREE!!!), or HydrogenAudio has a list of free LAME "front ends" on this page.
Or, you can use LAME.exe directly from the command line.

Re: Running Lame
Lamedrop is good for batch encoding if you have a load of WAV files to convert. Just drag and drop them onto the fish and make yourself a cup of tea (or coffee) while it gets on with the job.
