Lame won't download
Haven't seen this topic. Running Windows 10 on my desktop, Audacity 2.1.3. I want to convert Audacity files to MP3, but trying to download Lame the 'flag' that appears in the lower left corner of computer screen quotes 'download failed - forbidden. Downloaded onto my laptop fine, but I cannot find an RCA white and red to USB cable. Any ideas? Thanks in anticipation.
Re: Lame won't download
Did you try downloading LAME from http://lame.buanzo.org/#lamewindl ?
It just now worked for me...
What are you recording from? Of course, you don't need any hardware to convert Audacity files to MP3... Assuming you need line-level inputs for recording, the Behringer UCA202 is popular and inexpensive. If you need line inputs, do NOT buy a regular "USB soundcard" because they only have a mic input and a headphone output.

You might not find a "cable" because it essentially needs to have a USB soundcard built-in. I have seen microphone-to-USB adapter cables (with the soundcard built-in) but don't think I've ever seen one with RCA inputs (or outputs).but I cannot find an RCA white and red to USB cable.

Re: Lame won't download
Thanks. I'll try that. I have a stand alone turntable with a DJ Pre II pre amp. It has white and red inputs and white and red outputs. The recording is fine; just can't convert to MP3 because of Lame. Maybe you link will help.

That worked. Thank you again!
