Blimey!

That Lame mp3 external encoder really does work well.  There's an even
easier, one-step, way to install it than the directions given in the earlier
post though.

There's a help file that tells how to setup Lame(or other external encoders
like Flak etc) from within Sonar.  The help file is "ExtEncoderCFG.chm", and
is in the program files\cakewalk\shared utilities  folder.  You still need
to install Lame on your system, and have the Sonar installation Cd to access
the encoder profiles(unless you want to create your own), but you don't have
to install said profiles into the registry as a seperate step.  The one-step
process from within Sonar will do that for you.

I found it helpful to scan through the Lame documentation that comes in the
Lame zip file first.  It gives you some idea of what the various profile
presets are in terms of quality of compression, and therefore, what profiles
(there are five or so) you might want to install.

One quirk I found when doing this: when importing the profile off the CD, I
had to import it twice to get it to show up in the "friendly names"
list-you'll know what that means after you read the "extEncoderCFG.chm" help
file.  Not a problem, just a bit quirky.
