Try importing the MP3 back into Audacity - does it play correctly in Audacity?

You need to turn off your microphone. Look in the Recording settings for your sound card (System Tray > Recording Devices).

I'm on Linux at the moment and it took 18 seconds to export as "01 - Box Car Racer - I Feel So.mp3" 320MBPS stereo to my Desktop using Audacity 1.3.14 alpha with Lame 3.98.4. I'm not able to test it on a Windows computer at the moment, but there does not appear to be anything wrong with th...
