I am trying to set up AG and Lame to encode some of my wav files that were ripped using EAC. I am having a problem getting the file to encode. I checked external encoder in MP3 options, using user arguments --alt-preset standard. I pointed AG to the folder where LAME.exe is located. I then drag a wav file from Windows Explorer onto AG. It asks me what I want to do and I click create MP3. The dos screen blinks up on the screen for a second and disappears. Then nothing happens or shows up in the directory I specified. Any ideas on what to do to fix this? Would it be easier to use the Lame.dll file in AG as an internal encoder? The only problem is that if I do this it does not seem to let you create user arguments like the external encoder dialogue box does. Any insight into this sure would be appreciated.
