Is the command wrong?

No. It's probably the fact you're trying to run a 16-bit app on a 64-bit OS.

Unless someone more tech-savvy chimes it with something more elaborate, AFAIK, running it on a 32-bit OS, using emulators such as DOSBox or then a virtual machine do spring to mind as alternatives - the other is finding at least a 32-bit version of that .exe file.*

Edit: * ...assuming it exists.

Edit II: or... looking in retrospect, those question marks in your command line path might have something to do with it.

Right. Google up something like "NTVDM" or "ways to run DOS apps on 64-bit Windows 10" (you can replace with your exact Windows version, for example Windows 11). You will get results.

Sorry, mate. It's not personal and it may be my own fault, but though your English is flawless (it's obviously not down to me to judge anyone's English but my own), I honestly fail to understand whether you're agreeing or disagreeing with what's been said, thanks to such rather AI-like, lecturing tone - though I'm sure it's not intentional.

It's always a potential problem trying to run such aged software in modern OSes I can't offer any help beyond what has been suggested.

Also, bear in mind, OP, that for most solutions (if not all) you'll be constrained by DOS's 8.3 file nomenclature - e.g., "filename.ext" - where the base name can never be more than eight characters long and the extension three - which was dropped, AFAICR, only in Windows 95.

I don't understand why you want to run ancient and in all likelihood horrible MP3 encoder, but those links you got for running it won't help you. Microsoft's native NTVDM support requires 32-bit OS, and the winevdm can only run the Windows frontend, not the DOS encoders.
Best options for running DOS programs would probably be 86Box and DOSBox.
But there is a also a simpler option, MS-DOS Player. With this you get a single msdos.exe wrapper that you can use to run l3enc.exe through, like "msdos l3enc.exe infile.wav outfile.mp3". Though this has the disadvantage that you can easily try to feed filenames that DOS can't handle.

Edit: my mistake, the Frontend is 32-bit and it works even without winevdm.
And I seem to have been wrong about l3enc and LAME. Tested one killer sample at 128 kbps with LAME, l3enc and Helix and LAME produced easily the worst output. L3Enc sadly won, but Helix wasn't far behind.
PS: note that l3enc doesn't support any modern Xing/LAME headers, so encodes made with it won't be gapless.

My question again is how can my mp3 320 cut off at 22,050khz and not at 20,000khz with lame
All these posts later and still this question has not been answered:

You haven't said what the sample rate of your uncompressed audio is.

You are asking for a 22.05kHz filter cut-off, which implies to me you think your .WAV has 44.1kHz sampling (it probably does).  OK, so in theory a 44.1ksps digitised signal has a 22.05kHz bandwidth, but for all sorts of practical reasons actual 44.1ksps material will have bandwidths much lower than that.

Any frequencies greater than 22.05kHz present in the input signal will cause irreversible distortion when that signal is sampled at 44.1ksps.  Therefore the signal gets low-pass filtered before it gets to the sampler/digitiser.  No filter is perfect (not even digital filters), so to ensure signals over 22.05kHz are adequately attenuated, the filter cut-off is 20kHz.  The remaining 2.05kHz is a safety margin.  There is no point trying to convert a 20kHz bandwidth signal to MP3 with a 22.05kHz cut-off.

Unless, that is, your source material is actually 48ksps (and originated at 48ksps), in which case perhaps it is valid to convert with a 22kHz cut-off (not that you'll hear the difference).
It's your privilege to disagree, but that doesn't make you right and me wrong.

-q 0 is actually not the best! I use 3.100 and the best -q is -q 3 (-q 4 in order to receive -q 3). Also, i wanna convert the songs with fhg Fraunhofer l3enc. Can someone give me a link to download it? Do i have to write a command or is it a program????

If you want to mimick (to an extent) old lame encoders ,  use -q5 or 4 for cbr/abr.   These were default prior to lame 3.93 .
