Unable to start lame.exe

Why do I get the message "Unable to start lame.exe" when I try to convert to mp3.  Is lame supposed to be in a specific path or folder?

You have to set the path.

Go into CLI Encoder settings page. To the right of where it says Encoder, there's a browse button. Use that to find your lame.exe. (Or enter the path manually.) You can save this setting in the Preset options further down.
That's so plausible, I can't believe it.

He's probably using foo_lame. Follow doda's instruction and you're set, bud.

Thanks everybody!  Copying lame to the foobar folder worked; setting the path didn't, however.

It would have been nice if it had simply said "Can't find lame.exe" or something more specific.
