MP3 is an option after you select Export.

That was the case in 1.2.x

In 2.0 you do just get Export and Export Multiple - the dialog boxes then give you the opportunity to select the export type from a drop-down.

OMG some one should make a updated version on utube tutorials, beacuse all the videos I looked at the person said after downloading the plug in from lame you should then see export file as MP3 in the file menu. I thought that had to be there to save the file as MP3.

There is no mention if you have thethe lastest version 2.0 you dont see that. Very confusing, and frustrating.

Thanks very much for your help.

Austin..

The problem here is that the YT tutorials are not made by Audacity folk - they are all users, and as 2.0 has only recently been released thay will have a bit of catching up to do.

We do have a set of tutorials in teh manual for 2.0 which are up to date - but thay are written and not videos - see: http://manual.audacityteam.org/man/Tutorials

Everybody keeps assuming this is a corporate/user model and it's not. We're all volunteers including the YouTube people.

That meansYou should be volunteering to make the new training videos for YouTube. There is no "they" and "someone."
