Changing MP3 Bitrate when Exporting

Post by wutwuzdat » Fri Feb 26, 2010 8:26 pm

Hi all,

This is my first post here, so sorry if this has been asked before. Anyway, I just started using the Beta, and I can't figure out how to change the MP3 bitrate when exporting. When I was using 1.2.6 there was a place to change the bitrates under preferences. but I can't find the option in 1.3.11. It's stuck at 64kbps.

Can anyone tell me how to fix it?

thanks in advance

It's now been moved somewhere so obvious that you missed it ;)
When you get to the Export screen, look for an "Options" button (and click it).

Duh... Man, I have been looking all over trying to figure this one out. I never noticed that little button there before. Your a life-saver!
