There needs to be an extra button..let me try and explain. It's late and I'm tired, leave me alone :(

Anyway..I shall tell you a story, a story of peril, danger, and above all, peril.

I had QMP open in full mode (default skin) and on the right there's the playlist. I think to myself "oh I wonder what this button does (the one with the A and arrows and a B) so I click it, and there's a snazzy little popup menu. It says "Covert All To".

"oh hey", I think to myself, "I need something like this after that time I stupidly converted everything to wma" so I proceed to convert all to MP3.

Now, I have lame encoder installed, yet it tells me I don't. "Fair do's", thinks I, "it's probably not in the right place..or not installed correctly after I screwed up my hard drive, well whatever, let's open the settings and see what we can do".

So I click "YES" to open the settings, they open up, and I get the same error message. I click "YES" again...same thing..."YES"...same thing... so I try and be clever and click "NO"...but I get the same thing. Again I click no but to no avail. As the repetative clicking goes on, I notice on the right of my screen, that the "highlight" on the playlist tracks is moving down as I click...

"HOLY COW" I thought once more, it's going to go through my whole playlist...and ask me what I want to do for every single freakin' song!? Fortunately I'm well skilled in the arts of "end task", otherwise I might have cried.

That said, there needs to be a "No to All" option, or something, or when you click "No" it realises that you mean "No" and goes away and skips the rest of the tracks.

Just as an aside. You need to download lame.dll and put it in the plugin directory and point the plugin (in its preferences) to it in order to use the lame encoder with QMP. The lame encoder itself cannot be distributed with QMP.

Thank's :) I was getting tired of Task Managering all night.
