You've not used the word "Export". Did you just save the Audacity project or did you export an audio file?

My guess is that it's a message from one of your VST plug-in.

I was finally able to at least download the WMA files in RAW format into Audacity and even got the "Export" button to show up - yay! Good - that means that you have FFMpeg installed and working correctly. it tells me Audacity needs the lame_enc.dll file to create the MP3. It then shows th...

THIS IS ONE STUPID IDEA I certainly see your point, and to some extent agree with you, but it is very common practice for programs to do this because it can be really annoying to have to set up your preferences all over again just because the program has been updated.
