Resources

• Download Audacity
• Download the LAME encoder (this is required for exporting MP3's from Audacity)
• Additional Tutorial (SourceForge Web site)

Installation instructions for the LAME encoder for Audacity on Windows:

1. Go to the LAME download page.
2. Click on any link from the list of identical "lame-3.x.x" links.
3. When you have finished downloading LAME, unzip it and save the file lame_enc.dll anywhere on your computer (preferably in the audacity program folder).
4. The first time you use the "Export as MP3" command, Audacity will ask you where lame_enc.dll is saved. Point it to where you saved the .dll file and click ok.
