Lame Encoder Locator Error

[Dark St3alth]

Windows 7 64-bit and Mixxx 1.9.2. I placed the LAME MP3 encoder in the Mixxx folder and restarted it. I ran Mixxx as an administrator and with normal privileges and still returns the same error. I thought it might be looking for a file "liblame.dll" as it still didn't like it, but that doesn't seem to be the case. I have followed the wiki page on installation, and the connection error is about a Internet connection/Authentication problem even though the details I provided were correct.

Hey there,

Sorry for these maybe obvious questions, but please check the following:

1) You are running Windows 64-bit, but with MIxxx 32-bit. Did you make sure to copy libmp3lame.dll from x86 folder of the LAME release and not the x64 folder?

2) Did you install both Mixxx 32-bit and Mixxx 64-bit? Could it be possible that you are running the 64-bit version (located in c:\Program Files\Mixxx) but putting lame_enc.dll in the 32-bit version's folder (c:\Program Files (x86)\Mixxx)?

If you haven't installed the 64-bit version of MIxxx 1.9.2, could you please download and install that and try to use the 64-bit version? It could be that the 32-bit version of LAME does not work in Windows 64-bit for some reason.

Thanks for the report!

Sure I'll give that a try and come back and comment with the results.

Ok, one interesting instruction that seemed to change things was:

"Rename the DLL to lame_enc.dll"

Worked with both 64 and 32 bit versions (with the correct lame.dll). Just a classic user error...

Side comment though, what's different with "lame_enc.dll" and "libmp3lame.dll"?

Hmm, interesting. In your screenshot you had a "lame_enc.dll" in the folder
though. Where did that come from? Did you download it previously or
something?

I don't think the name matters, though. We should just check for both.

Since you solved the issue (renaming the DLL to lame_enc.dll) marking Invalid. Thanks for the report Dark St3alth.
