Is the last %n a typo?  I think you really want %m, which will use the
filename/file format from "encode file format."  Using %n will not
have any .mp3 extension, so lame will add it I believe.

I don't know off the top of my head if any changes require a restart
or grip, but from experience most of them don't.
