I don't know what the LAME drivers, or any other encoders, have to do with using mp3tag - as there is no audio encoding or decoding being done at this point.

From the previous conversation thread I thought that you had removed and abandoned Audiograbber. If you uninstall this program, does the problem go away?

I noticed that Audiograbber is now installing its own Lame drivers which it never did before. When I do a complete uninstall of Audiograbber the problem goes away. I am now using a different ripper and have no problems.
