SongVerter 1.000 MP3 Won't Work - Fix: Install recommended Lame_enc.dll

[sassypatty]

Steve: see my last post to rcrosier regarding using mtu suggested lame dll file. Did you ever try it? If you did, are you still having problems? Hope your trip was good.

Believe it or not, I didn't have lame_enc.dll in my C:\windows\system directory. I had an older version (2004) in my shared documents directory. After MTU told me to locate this file in my C:\windows\system directory and send it to them, I located the older version I had, copied it to the C:\windows\system directory and WALLAH! Everything works fine now.

MTU was super in working with me on resolving this issue. I have one suggestion for them though. Since Songverter requires lame_enc.dll, the installation routine shouyld check to make sure the file is available and if it's not, then install a compatible version.

Thanks,

Steve

I can answer this one for you. The reason that the lame_enc.dll is not distributed via the Install program is because of licensing issues with the owner of the MP3 patent(s).

If the dll file is on your system, then it is available for use. It is also available at several download sites.

Songverter 1.001 is well on its way to a web browser near you. This version will check to see if the full and necessary lame mp3 implementation is available in the lame_enc.dll file and warn the user if it is not.
