Thank you for the advice on the Lame encoder. After a rather long struggle, I managed to download Lame v3.96 and have it on my desktop. However, when I go to open it I get a dialog saying it can't be opened and it gives me a choice of going online or entering what program created it. When I try to export my files to MP3, Sonar keeps telling me I need to put in an encoder. Somewhere, I have missed a step. How do I install the Lame encoder? I feel like I'm mostly there. Thanks for the help. Ross Ross Wine-Sky Blind Luck Music 1708 21st Ave., Suite453 Nashville,TN 37212 615-298-5258 www.wine-sky.com
