Direct Rip and Encode to MP3 file has been greyed out in MP3 settings, so how can it be enabled?

Question

Direct Rip and Encode to MP3 file has been greyed out in MP3 settings (at the top, under Grab to). How can this be enabled? I have the latest version of Audiograbber installed on two computers, one running Windows XP 32-bit and one running Windows 7 64-bit, but it's the same on both. The option to encode straight to MP3 isn't currently available.

Also, make sure you haven't checked the box that tells it to rip all the songs first before encoding.

Answer 1

This option is only available when an internal encoder is used. It does not work with external ones.
If you install the MP3 plugin from our download page, the lame encoder will automatically be activated as an internal encoder with our recommended settings, and you can use that option.

Oops sorry comment deleted.  

The important thing is to un-tick the box 'Rip all songs before encoding'.  

This must be done manually, since the MP3 Plugin does not adjust this setting.

Thanks very much, anonymous. That was where I went wrong.
