To utilize the m4a compression, yes, Quicktime must be installed.

But if you are after the mp3 file conversion, Quicktime can't do that.

I can't say what happened when you tried to install the LAME encoder, you should return to the same website and see if the FAQs can help you solve what happened.

What is your computer OS? It may be that you downloaded a file for installing LAME to a different Operating System than the one you are running. Don't know if they are using separate installers or not along those lines.

The LAME website is where I'd go to find out what to do at this point, so you should go there and try to find out. Maybe there is a forum, maybe you can contact the developers as well, but first you should examine the information there and try to find out what is not right about what you have already tried.
