Lyn,

You answered several questions for me, Great!

First I did download foobar2000 and for some reason could not get Lame
to work. It seems to want LAME.EXE which is mentioned various places
but it always ends up being a .dll file.

Gave up on one song was working on and just used Audacity.
Then found winLame and downloaded it. Works just fine and free,
however its not as simple and clean to use as Audacity.

The second question which I did not post was quality file saves for
CD creation. Plenty of folks on this forum know, but there are many
types of wav files.
Got sidetracked. Anyway the Power Tracks 2011 track save function creates
a 709 bts quality wav file, which far exceeds the 192 bit mp3 was creating with Audacity.

Its great to confirm this direction of file creation. PT does a very nice job with compressor and
fadein/out and wav creation.

Again thank you,

Seeker
