LAME woes

[Tony Hardie-Bick]

Aaarggh,

I seriously would like to know what the issue is, but have no idea.

I have had zero problems with lame - apart from VBR load probs on small non-FP 
ARM players, years ago. It all works just great, all files play back perfectly, 
everywhere, and to an exceptionally high audio quality.

But I always run from a command line, on Linux, when creating mp3s.

Any further info much appreciated.
