Thanks everyone!
Something was not quiet right with the copy of lame.exe I had. I downloaded another copy from another site and it worked. File size was signifigantly different. Hopefully the first wasn't a trojan in disguise. I can't remember where I got it but it was a serious encoder sight.
I'll be checking out 'React' as well. It's just what I need. I have no problem modifying an .ini file. I'll mess around with the registry as long as it makes my life easier.
Technically minded or inheritantly lazy? You be the judge.
Can't be lazy as I waste more time trying to automate things than I ever get back as a return.
Thanks again.
