[Grip-users] why the heck won't grip encode mp3s with lame?

Damn.... Ok, after getting this I started going over the args again.  %w
and %m are the ones I need, %w tells the wave file being encoded and %m is
the name of the output file.  So freakin dumb.  I appologize for this.  I
had gone over the lame man page and the help pages of grip and didn't
catch this.  I guess I assumed that the file names were extra and that
this line was only asking for things we wanted to specify for encoding
purposes.
thanks for the help.

Problem solved..
