Is there a way to encode 44.1K, 16-bit, mono wave files using LAME? I'm trying to use Exact Audio Copy to do it, but it's not liking the mono files. MusicMatch is converting them with no problems, but I wanted to use LAME.

One idea was to convert the sample type of the wave file to stereo, but I'm not sure which would give the "purest" results..

This is for a little project I'm working on that I can't wait to share with all of you.
