Re: Export audio.
I have in mind returning to the main menu "File". 4 years to use - and now to retrain. By the way, just getting used to "real time preview" [email protected]

Re: Export audio.
And since nobody's posted the other half of this yet:
Never, ever do audio production in MP3.
MP3 creates sound damage every time it works. Compression effects and artifacts can permanently damage a valuable show.
ACX AudioBook requires posting of readings in MP3. In the course of producing different products from your reading, they may produce an MP3 from your MP3. If you started out life with one or more MP3 layers even before the submission, they'll never make it. The end product will be bubbly and honky and the damage is permanent.
So I would firmly oppose making MP3 appear anything like the Default Export Format.
If you're doing that much MP3 conversion work, maybe you shouldn't be in Audacity at all. There are MP3 editing programs that have a restricted toolset, but don't increase the quality damage.
What is your job? We may be able to figure a better way to do it.
