How did people here learn GUIs

[Martin McCormick]

Yes. Lame is anything but. For years, I used bladeenc and it
works but the MP3 files generate continuous floating-point error
messages when played with mplayer. The sound files still play but
something is very unhappy. The same files when encoded with lame
play just fine in mplayer and there are no continuous
floating-point messages.
