I just migrated my system from W98 to W2K. Since then, my MP3 encoding setup broke. I am using EAC with LAME 388. To ensure that everything would be configured properly, I imported my option profile from my W98 setup. (See attached screen shot).

When I encode a track, LAME compresses it in seconds instead of minutes. The outcome is a small (1MB) mp3 file instead of my usual large files. When I observe the graph during compression, all of the frames fall into the 32 k/s/ range.

Does anyone know what might be going on here?
