I’'m afraid I’ve stumbled into confusing territory. I was advised to download Lame to assist Audacity in converting my cassette tapes to MP3s. I’ve downloaded lame-3.100.tar for Mac … AudacityGuide.com tells me “how to use and start the encoding of the file to mp3 format”
Open the Audacity and click on “Edit”
Go to the “Preferences”
Look for the tab labelled as “File Formats” and then click on “Find Library” button
Look for “lame_enc.dll“ which you can find under “C:\program files\lame for audacity\“ select and click the “Open” to continue
There are optional settings in the Audacity “Preferences.” There you can change the bit rate. Once you are done customizing the bit rate, you can now proceed in clicking “OK” to get back to the main Audacity screen
Click the “File” and “Export to mp3”
Save the file. The Audacity will require you to enter the ID3 tags for the artist’s name and title of the song. Click “Ok” to begin the encoding process of the file to mp3 format"
… I can’t even find the library, but under preferences it says Lame-3 is “built in” … will it simply let me export to MP3 without going through all these steps?
Thank you…
