What is the exact error message when you export as MP3? Where exactly is Audacity installed? Have you tried the troubleshooting steps by quitting Audacity and removing [MP3] MP3LibPath= from audacity.cfg as well as using a lame_enc.dll file from the buanzo site? Here are the troubleshooting steps ag...

On Ubuntu /tmp/ and /var/tmp/ seem to both be 755 by default. Launching Audacity as the user does not create the message about there being nowhere to store temp files, as long as /var/tmp/audacity-gale/ already exists.

Here is a direct link to it: http://lame1.buanzo.com.ar/lame_enc.dll . I suggest quitting Audacity then putting th...

On Ubuntu I consistently see a problem with trying to execute audacity as root, irrespective where the executable file is ("could not find a place to store temporary files"). I don't have /root/.audacity-data/ and creating it does not prevent the problem. I have never seen fastturtle's iss...

To avoid mixing down to mono or stereo, choose Edit > Preferences, choose "Import / Export" on the left, click the radio button "Use custom mix..." then click OK. MP3 only supports mono & 2-channel stereo. You cannot compress multi-channel (5.1 surround, etc.) to MP3. There i...

If the cat pulls the plug out while you are gone, Automatic Crash Recovery should work. No, I don't mean anything straightforward like that. I mean you get back from the Tesco and the screen is partially unresponsive or having any one of a number of "pre-crash" symptoms. Or Audacity just ...

If you can use a mouse, just click in the label to select its audio and open the label for editing.

If you cannot use a mouse, DOWN arrow then TAB to the label you want. This does the same as a mouse click in the label.
