Hi Darran.
Thanks for the advice.
I managed to get the lamewin32.exe file and this seems to have satisfied
Goldwave as I am now able to save in mp3 format. However, as for Direct X,
I have downloaded version 9, but when I select Direct X from the available
plug-ins in Goldwave, I am advised that there are no compatible direct x
audio files available. Goldwave will still work, but it leaves me wandering
why plug-in's are necessary at all and why I have an option to select
various types? Thanks again for your help.
Andy.
