Hi Judith, Thanks. I have already d/led the lame dll file and put it in the folder where I had my Goldwave program. I had experiemented with goldwave and blazeaudio programs but was wanting to try the lame program as I read it was supposed to be so good. But I was having trouble understanding it. I will check out sourforge as you suggested. Im guessing then an encoder or decoder changes the format of the file so you can convert it.. like from wave to mp3..?
