Help with Audacity

[DJ-Haze]

Hi Guys,

Just recorded my first mix and made it 50 mins long.... however when i try to export as an mp3 file on audacity i get this error

Audacity does not export mp3 files directly, but instead uses the freely available LAME library to handle mp3 encoding. YOu must obtain Lame_enc.dll seperatly, by downloading the LAME mp3 encoder, and then locate this file for Audacity. You only need to do this once.

Would you like to locate now?

I am no computer expert, i have tried downloading this lame encoder for it but cant get any joy... any one who can help?


Thanks very much it would be apreciated! and save me from doing a 50 minute mix again..

It should work if you have downloaded and installed Lame. Where did you get it from?

Here is the link that Audacity recommend:

http://lame.buanzo.com.ar/libmp3lame-win-3.98.2.zip

when i first got audacity i downloaded the whole mp3 encoder but when it came to locating the Lame_enc.dll, i couldnt find it! Is this what you mean? try downloading just the .dll file on its own! It worked for me!

Heres a link http://www.dlldump.com/download-dll-files_new.php/dllfiles/L/lame_enc.dll/-/download.html

yeah download it on its own.. and then just remember where you've placed it .. place it in a simple place to remember like your own "main map" and then locate it with audacity .. all I can say.. had some problems with it to in the beginning..
