Windows 7, Audacity 2.1.0, exe
I had a serious crash and had to replace my hard drive, so I lost Audacity. I successfully installed Audacity, but not Lame. I downloaded Lame to a folder, and see it there when I open the folder, but Audacity preferences won't recognize it when I browse from there, and it continues to say it's not found. ??

Re: audio set-up problem
Try downloading Lame_v3.99.3_for_Windows.exe from http://lame.buanzo.org/#lamewindl and run the EXE file to "install" LAME instead of trying to copy it to a folder.
