I am on win 8 , and cannot go to the place where audacity shows it is saved? not in music, not in documents , not in downloads, not on /in computer??
Re: lost file?
What location did you select in the Export dialog screen?
This shows the file being exported into a "Jimi Hendrix" folder:

Re: lost file?
when I click save , audacity says I do not have permission to save there? so they gave me another folder choice, so I used that, but the file is not there? my name is Terrence, so that is the folder name they offered but it is not there? and , I did download the LAME app and all that. only thing I can find is the original I saved in downloads from the email it was in so it showed up in outlook as a download. but the Mp3 I made is nowhere to be found in my Terrence folder or anywhere? audacity has it stored in there temp file.
