Converting .aup file to MP3 format

Post by EddieReynolds » Wed Mar 24, 2010 4:19 pm

Hi. I have saved several files in the .aup format. I have been requested to convert one of them into MP3 format. I am using Audacity 1.3.10 Beta......Windows Vista .....and have downloaded a Lame MP3 encoder (BonkEnc v1.0.14) Can you PLEASE help me? Thank you in advance. Eddie.

That's the wrong MP3 software. You need to get the "lame" software from the Audacity page.

"lame" is the actual, real product name. It's not a description of the quality of the software.

Then, when you have downloaded and installed the Lame encoder, and told Audacity where to find it, (here's how),

you have to then open your .aup file in Audacity, and use File > Export , which will export the project as an mp3.
