My only concern is with respect to the TTSLAME.dll. I would say that that lib is a Cakewalk repackaging of the Lame codec and is the reason that we have to pay if we use Cakewalk's MP3 encoder. I wonder whether there a licence or copyright issue?

I understand your concern and caution. As noted by jcatena in his post via the link I posted:
 
" mp3 encoder authorization is needed in order to use it (the updated ttslame.dll), no difference with original. No need to re-authorize if you already did." 
 
Of course I'm no Cakewalk employee, so I'm hoping it's OK by Cakewalk for users of Cakewalk software to use the updated ttslame.dll files, as Cakewalk MP3 activation is still needed in order to use the updated dll files, and the updated dll files provide a benefit to authorized users of the Cakewalk MP3 Encoder.And seeing that this updated dll news was posted in the old SONAR Resources sticky thread, in which time it was not negatively pounced on by Cakewalk, here's to being optimistic that Cakewalk continues any possible implicit indirect support for the Cakewalk Communiity.

here's a link to to the Sonar online help regarding the mp3 encoder. Seems like its already been updated as it shows as v3.99 in the mp3 export setting dialog.

I've been using SONAR 8 Producer through to X3e Producer, and the lame version that ships with those versions is 3.97. I don't know what version of Lame is included with SONAR 2015 versions.

That's what I was referring to. Sonar Platinum ie 2015 is using v3.99 and has full capability with export choices from bit rates of 32 to 320 or VBR as per the attached image and ID3 tags.
 

 

There are more users of Cakewalk/SONAR software than the SONAR 2015 lineup users, so jcatena's updated ttslame.dll files can still be a benefit to many users of the Cakewalk community.

I understand that, I was simply answering your question.

In the meantime I've had considerable problems with the forum's anti spam software being triggered every time I edit the first post to add an item. This causes the post to be inaccessible until it's restored by a forum host.

I'm on the opposite side of the world and while I've had nothing but help and support from the forum hosts (and no doubt the bakers behind the scenes) I'm on a planet far far away in Australia and widely varying time zones add another layer to managing communication.

Rest assured I know that there are many X3 and earlier versions being used so this dll will benefit them. As soon as I can I'll get onto it.

would you be kind enough to open a new thread about this and keep this thread for the discussion of new utilities not there actual operation. It will help others searching for utilities created by our members.

Thank you very much. I've been looking something like these, but the blind have to feel around sometimes. 
 
In particular, I'd seen some mentions of the Project thingy, which I'm look into, probably Saturday night at this point.

Re. CupCake2 - with thanks to mudgel for flagging this up, there's a problem with a repeated CLSID for a plug-in that I don't think should happen.  I've only found this for one plug-in so far (the very useful Sidechain Mixer) which I think is a bug in the plug-in so I've contacted SilkTone about this.
 
At the moment though, CupCake 2 will crash if you have Sidechain Mixer installed.

Discussion of this program (CupCake) here.
