Just upgraded to MC11 (from 9.0)
Went to options>encoding to select mp3 encoder, but none was installed, went with the option to download & install, got the message for successful installation and then everything froze with cpu at 100%.
I then killed it w/task manager and reopened MC11 and tried again directly from the plugins page, but couldn't find the mp3 plugin, only Flac and mpeg. There's one under version 9, but not 10 & 11. I tried v9 encoder and everything repeated as described in the previous paragraph
What do I do now?? Jay.
