Hello Eddie,

You're correct, the Audio Compression dialog did look different in 2014. It had the same format and attribute drop-downs, but the window was smaller and also had an option for the user to save presets (presets were just a way for the user to select a format and attribute and save the combination. I'm not sure why that was removed. Maybe it should be restored).

Aside from that though, it functions the same way - RealBand only has the ability to use whatever codecs are available to the Windows Audio Compression Manager. We do not (and cannot) include any MP3 codecs with our software, we are not licensed to. Not even Microsoft can get around this... and that's why no MP3 codecs are showing up for you. Your copy of Windows may have a file l3codecp.acm, but it may be disabled. Your previous version of Windows may very well have included a working mp3 codec if it was fairly old.
