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.

I don't know why it does not work. The plug-ins page is not properly updated (yet?). MC11 can use only its own encoder plug-in versions.

Jay, check the Gmail account we have. I sent the current plug-in and encoder there.

Thanks Alex, I used the gmail option and it worked.

I have one more question on this topic: what do I enter in the encoder box for highest quality VBR mp3, do I set it as  target quality: "extreme" and uncheck "use fast mode"?

[Alex B]

Yes.

Fast uses "VBR new". It is a bit faster and not necessarily any worse, but there are not enough test results to back up that.

Thanks again. I'll wait on my other post untill J River gets to work.
