[...] you want to export MP3s with Sonar, and don’t want to pay $19 for the Cakewalk encoder (or it doesn’t work on your system), there is a free encoder called LAME that can be integrated into Sonar. This tutorial will show [...]

Greg, I didn’t change the original post. The quote is the original, unaltered email I received from Cakewalk.

I just explained “how else you could read it” But of course, now the original post has been changed by the author, so I look like a moron… Oh, well…

I think that message is pretty clear that they don’t support it on the Windows XP x64 platform. I don’t know how else you could read it.

I think you are misreading what cakewalk is saying. They are saying it won’t work when running at 64 bits in x64. You are running Sound Forge in 32 bits on a 64 bit operating system. Sound forge is not a 64 bit program like Sonar is. You can use the mp3 encoder with Sonar in 32 bit mode on a 64 bit OS like x64. Cakewalk is assuming that you would use the 64 bit version of Sonar on a 64 bit OS, but this is not always the way people do it because many third party effects/synths can not run at 64 bits.
