John I don't know how to answer that. I went online and found a LAME encoder, note, the same one I used with XP years ago. I also installed Audacity, which brings with it a LAME encoder. Audacity works fine to convert to MP3. I still see no attributes available when I select MP3 for my encoding in Real Band.

What I need to know is "Look in your Windows/System32 folder for this file:" and I can tell you what I have. I DO have the one that Windows 7 disabled, and will look at that registry hack to enable it and see if that fixes it for me like it did for Larry.
