Help with bit rate.

Post by tankmech4 » Fri Feb 08, 2008 8:42 pm

I am trying to convert some songs on my computer so they will work as a ringtone on a cell phone. I've been able to cut the song down to size, but all research I've done states that I have to change the bit rate. I've searched all the pull-downs, and all the buttons, but have not found out how to change the bit rate. Could someone please help.

I assume you mean the MP3 bit rate for export?

If so then go to Edit > Preferences > File Formats and the bottom section of the dialogue box is titled "MP3 Export setup". Provided that you have already installed LAME and pointed Audacity to it (necessary for MP3 export) you will be able to reset the bit rate from the drop-down.
