Hi SPOON
I have enjoyed your fantastic tool for audio etc for many years and I don't understand why you made the comment above.
[COLOR=*222222]I assumed that when converting to 320kbs that the quality would be better. [/COLOR]
I tried your suggestion of SAFE MODE with no change.
I have done some further investigation into this issue.
It appears that the codec i am trying to use isn't using LAME but using FHG (Guess) or XING (Guess)
I have screen shots of examples below.
File Name.JPG
The pic above shows the first file as 128Kb and the second as 115kb (Windows 10 explorer file listing)
(The 2nd file was converted using real player real convertor at 320kb VBR)
See both audio properties pic below.
The image to the rightshows different kbs for the file "All in My Mind2" .
The audio property shows 318kbs but 115kbs on the windows file bit rate column pic above.

Here is another audio property pic below from a file that I converted before the new release update.
Lame Audio Property.JPG
It clearly shows the convertor was LAME
You say that converting 128kb to 320 reduces quality but the pic below shows that the when converting using Lame the quality is higher at 320k and lower at 128k etc.

I don't understand this. [COLOR=*222222]How can i get Lame codec to work again.

Appreciate any help that may take me back to your program that was working for the way i had it before the upgrade.
