Default having trouble rendering as .mp3

hi all usually i wouldnt even bother with .mp3s but i was going to upload a song ive been tinkering with to soundclick.com and they only allow mp3s and when i try to render down to mp3 it give me a codec error. im really not even sure what this is. but when i rendered as a .wav but in 32 bit mode i was getting a codec error when i opened the song with windows media player. after going back to 24 bit mode it was fine but as far as mixing down to mp3 i really dont even know where to start. any suggestions?

You need to download Lame3.98 (latest), then only need to copy "lame_enc.dll" to the c:\Program Files\REAPER folder. Don't need the other stuff for REAPER.

Try this and see if it helps...
