<<<I had the same problem and tried all of the above to no avail.>>> All of the above? You reinstalled fresh to a /Audacity folder under /Applications and put the lame software in the Plug-Ins folder? You can always encode to MP3 or AAC using iTunes, so it isn't like you're forced to use the one in ...

<<<When I tell Audacity 1.3.3 to export as a MP3, it asks me to show it the lib, so I make it /Applications/libmp3lame.dylib and it just tells me "Could not open MP3 encoding library!">>> In other words, you're using unstable software and complaining that it's unstable, and you're posting ...

OK, let's get compulsive, my favorite activity past gardening. Get the INFO on your lame file and open up that extension on the bottom that nobody ever goes to.

<<<Has anyone else had this experience?>>>

Yes, the next question down from yours.

What you might have is a bad USB connection. That happens a lot. Does anything else work in that connection like a printer? Try different USB connections or if you have a different Mac, try that just to make sure you don't have a broken turntable. The IONs are stunningly cheap for what you get. Some...

I think you're working too hard. Apple, Preferences, Sound, Internal Microphone. You should see the bouncing balls move when you speak. Open Audacity and click once inside the right-hand meters. You should see bouncing lights (it may take a second). Somewhere in the lower middle of the Audacity Bann...
