I have installed LAME but Audacity doesn’t detect it when I try to export as MP3. I followed instructions below:
Audacity should detect LAME automatically when you export as MP3. If Audacity cannot find LAME:
-Click Audacity > Preferences then choose “Libraries” on the left.
-Click “Locate…” under “MP3 Export Library”, then “Browse…” in the “Locate Lame” dialog.
-The “Where is libmp3lame.dylib?” window will open at /usr/local/lib/audacity; select “libmp3lame.dylib”, click “Open” then “OK” and “OK”.
everything seems fine until the last step, when the “Open” button is not clickable in that final window. I am wondering if my operating system is too old to support LAME properly? I cannot upgrade it as the computer is from 2006. Trying to understand if I can use audible to export MP3’s or if i need new equipment. Any suggestions? Thanks!
CORRECTION: I wrote “audible” instead of “audacity” in the last line, should read: Trying to understand if I can use AUDACITY to export MP3’s or if i need new equipment.
