Yes, you can, but you could equally just use the mic input on your computer. The "technical data" section on the manufacturer's website is conspicuously lacking in technical detail for that device, but I would imagine that it expects a standard computer microphone as an input, which is the same as t...

Probably the simplest way to find it is to go through the motions of exporting another file: Start Audacity. Click Project > New Audio Track (This will be an empty track, but we need it so Audacity thinks there is something to export) Click File > Export as MP3 You will get a window titled "Save MP3...
