MessageI agree the Lame encoder is very effective. In fact, I was advised by a Cakewalk customer service Representative that if you were to purchase an encoder by them, it would be the Lame encoder. He suggested I just use that and get it for free from a web site there are a few tricks to installing it, but, once installed it is super easy to make MP3s from Sonar Audio files.
