Remarks: Windows XP has reached "end of life" on April 8th, 2014. This means that Microsoft has stopped all support for Windows XP, i.e. no updates or bugfixes are made available to regular Windows XP uses since that date, not even security fixes! Thus, all the security vulnerabilities that have been discovered after this deadline - and all the security vulnerabilities that will be discovered in the future - are going remain unfixed forever! Consequently, using Windows XP has become a severe security risk, and the situation is only going to get worse. While LameXP will continue to support Windows XP (note that Service Pack 3 is required!) for the foreseeable future, we highly recommend everybody to update to a less antiquated system now. Windows XP support will be discontinued in a future version, when most users have migrated to a contemporary system.

Addendum: When distributing binaries of the LameXP software, it is strictly forbidden to bundle the LameXP program files and/or the LameXP installation program with any kind of Adware, Spyware or PUP (potentially unwanted program), including, but not limited to, any downloaders, dialers, browser toolbars/extensions or restricted shareware/demo programs. It is, however, perfectly legitimate to bundle LameXP with other OpenSource programs, according to the OSI (Open Source Initiative).

3 Tutorial (Step-by-Step Guide)
-TODO
+This tutorial will teach you, step by step, how to convert your audio files using the LameXP software.
+3.1 Source Files
+First of all, you need to add all source files that you want to convert. So switch to the "Source Files" tab, just in case that tab is not active already, and click the "Add File(s)" button.
+
This will bring up a standard file selection dialogue. Now simply select the files that you want to add and click the "Open" button. You can repeat this step multiple, e.g. to add files from different directories.
All files you have added, so far, will show up in the list. You can click the "Remove" button to remove a single file from the list or "Clear" to remove them all. Click the "Show details" button to show details about a file.
Did you know? Files can also be added via Drag & Drop. Just grab the files that you want to add in your Explorer window and drop them onto the LameXP main window (or onto the LameXP "dropbox" widget).
3.2 Output Directory
+Next, you need to choose the output directory, i.e. the directory where the converted files will be saved. Switch to the "Output Directory" tab and choose the desired output directory from the directory tree view.
+Note: There are several quick navigation buttons below, which will allow you to jump quickly to your personal "Home" folder, "Desktop" folder and "Music" folder, respectively.
+
Sometimes you may wish to store the converted files in a new (sub-)folder. In this case, simply click the "Make New Folder" button, enter the desired folder name and hit the "OK" button.
The new folder is going to be created inside the current directory and will be selected automatically. You can repeat this step multiple times in order to created nested sub-folders.
Did you know? If you enable the "Save output files in the same directory where the input file is located", each output file will be saved to the same location where the corresponding source file resides.
