There are 2 things you need to know 1) how to call DLLs from VB. 2) how to call the lame dll. Not sure which one you are wanting guidance on.
1) is fairly easy, though I don't remember the exact method now. A search on google / microsoft knowledge base / vb help files should reveal the answer soon enough. I guess there's info from the Lame folks on the lame_enc.dll API ?!
