But you can replace the lame_enc.dll from the program directory to an up-to-date (3.98.2) one from rarewares.org. I'm very satisfied with the options this program offers for mp3 encoding.

It places an ID-tag writing library 'LAME3.93' in the converted MP3-file. #88 MP3 settings can be changed via the menu Options\Output Format... Settings to be chosen include Mono, Stereo, Joint Stereo, Forced Joint Stereo, Dual Channel; Old VBR, New VBR, ABR, MTRH; and low-pass and high-pass filtering; Bitrate, frequencies and encoder quality can be set via pop-up menus or slider. Lots of choices. #88 Yes, there are some small typos in the program, but they do not confuse me what it should mean. MP4 is not supported, not in the feature list, and I am not able to import an MP4 file. Program works fine for me, more than enough choices for audio conversion, polishing and editing. #88 Lame v3.93 is installed in the program’s folder.

This reminds me of Nero's WaveEditor. One feature that I have found that I have not seen and wanted in a wave editor program is the "increase/decrease speed" of the selected region. What a nice feature. Have not played with it, but I will be testing it out soon. I did a simple cut from a WAV file and it has been four minutes with the program showing a little time clock. How long should a simple cut take? The program has truncated my 5 hour file down to a 3 hours file. Maybe, I can use that nifty increase/decrease on a smaller file. So the program has limitations.

I used to visit this site often and have never had a piece of software install AND authenticate itself so smoothly. One problem, how do I access the software? I cannot find it on my computer.

Not encouraged by the screenshot showing "Perset"... And the Output mp3 tab only shows the 'Perset' and choice of sample rate, bit rate and channels - but no choice of quality of encoding, or joint vs discrete stereo, or of VBR vs ABR vs CBR (Varable, Average, Constant Bit Rate). Does it handle Apple style of mp4 aac audio? I don't see that one on the list. THX! question: anyone able to say what mp3 encoder it uses? is it LAME 3.98.2 latest, or something else or older?
