Export to MP3 does not result in real MP3

Post by tdoelman » Wed Dec 31, 2008 12:09 pm

When I use Audacity 1.3.6 to record from my turntable, I can export to MP3 , but although a file with .mp3 extension results, it does not seem to be a real mp3 file. It keeps the Audacity icon in front of it and when I copy it to my MP3 player, it is on the SDHC card, but the player does not find it. Anyone know a solution to this?

I have an iMac with Leopard on it and Intel processor.

While the song is on your desktop, open it in QuickTime Player and press Apple-I to get an INFO panel. What does that say?
