I got this crazy idea in my head to have a go at compiling the 3.91 Lame source with Microsoft Visual C++ .NET to see what I could do. I was curious as to what you all think about this, for I was just doing it for experimentation. There are several code compilation optimization improvements in c.net and I thought it would be interesting to see what happens. Do you all know of any turturial on how to use MSVC to compile lame? This is the best I have been able to find: http://www.maindex.com/lame/howto/msvccommand.html . I would like to use the IDE if possible, though I don't know if it is? :confused: Thanks in advance.

Very much appreciated ,

You need a VC project file then. Use that tutorial u linked and apply VC7 specific options.

I don't have any written tutorials to show you, but the best way to compile LAME with MSVC is via "nmake -f Makefile.MSVC" from the command line, in the lame directory. I'd suggest using this over the project files. This is how I compile my releases and is also how Mitiok and SMPMan do it. You can use the project file if you want, but you'll also have to copy the file "ConfigMS.h" to "Config.h" (without the quotes obviously) or else you will get an error when you try to compile..

Thanks for the heads up guys.
