Installing lame is pretty straight forward; you basically download it, and drop it in the bin directory for slimserver and restart slim.
Here is one place you can download from: http://www.free-codecs.com/Lame_Encoder_download.htm (or here to go direct to the download for version 3.96.2: http://www.free-codecs.com/download_soft.php?d=1663&s=22) This will download a ZIP file. Simple open the zip file, extract lame.exe and drop that in the "SlimServer\server\Bin\MSWin32-x86-multi-thread" directory. You'll find this under "C:\Program Files" by default. Then restart SlimServer. WIth regards to your question concerning your SB2 at home, no it won't affect that. When multiple players connect to SlimServer, they each have their own configuration. When you connect to SlimServer using Winamp, that will appear as a second player. On the home page for your SlimServer, you'll see on the left pane, under "Settings", two players listed (assuming both your SB2 and winamp are connected). Also, on the right pane, you'll now have a drop-down box in the top right corner, allowing you to select which player you wish to manage music for (sorry if this is all old news to you!). Anyway, if you click on your Winamp player connection under the "Settings" heading in the left pane (probably just listed as the IP address where you are connecting from), then select the "Audio" menu from the row of options along the top, you will see two options that are relevant: o LAME Quality Level and o Bitrate Limiting (If Lame hasn't been installed correctly, it will tell you under LAME Quality Level...). So, you simply set the quality level (9 is generally fine, unless you transcode to lower than 128k), then set the bitrate limit. Note that you'll have to stop and start any songs you are playing on this player for the change to take effect. Also, this change only affects this player - by default bitrate limited is not applied. I think I may have made this sound more complicated that it really is - does it make sense? Hope so!
