Still a no go on installation of the LAME MP3 Encoder.
I have used the http://lame.buanzo.com.ar/ link to try and down load the program and I’m getting the same reply: “We were unable to locate the file to download” Can someone please help me. I am trying to use Audacity 1.2.6 on windows XP
Thanks

Re: Still no LAME MP3 Encoder
This is the current location - I have tested the link and it is working. http://lame.buanzo.com.ar/lame_enc.dll
Instructions from the Audacity wiki:
1. Download an unzipped copy of the required lame_enc.dll here
2. Do not open this file, but save it to your computer. As you will be using this .dll file directly for encoding it is recommended to save it into your Audacity installation folder. This is normally at C:Program FilesAudacity. Once lame_enc.dll is saved to your computer:
3. Launch Audacity, click Edit > Preferences then the File Formats tab. Note: In Audacity 1.2.x, it may be necessary to click the left-pointing arrow top right of the window to reveal the tab. In Audacity 1.3.4 this tab is called Audio Files; in 1.3.5 or later Import / Export.
4. Look for the MP3 Export section.
5. Click on the "Find Library" button
6. In Audacity 1.2.6 this will ask if you want to locate the LAME encoder. Click "Yes". In Audacity 1.3.3 or later, click the "Browse" button
7. In the dialogue box, go to the folder where you put lame_enc.dll earlier, and select it.
8. Click Open, then OK.
In the same "MP3 Export Setup" section, you can then in Audacity 1.2.6 set the bit rate of the exported MP3 by clicking on the downward pointing arrow in the "Bit Rate" dropdown.

Re: Still no LAME MP3 Encoder
I have tried that link ten or more time over the past few days and It still tells me it can’t locate the file for download. Are there any other places I can get it?
