OK, will do, just checked, it's 2.1.3 version of Audacity. I suppose this means I should install the 2.3.1 version. In doing this will I be able to import .wma music files? By the way, I did install Lame when I first installed Audacity from the CD and I am able to import .mp3 music files but not .wma files.

And thank you to all who have tried to help. I do realize this is just a volunteer helping situation. You would think Audacity would have Audacity experts here to help answer questions though instead of relying on regular people to volunteer. But I do thank you all.

LAME is used for exporting MP3 files.
Audacity can import MP3 files on it's own (LAME not needed for importing MP3, only for exporting)

FFmpeg is required for importing or exporting WMA, AAC, AC3, M4A and various other "non-free" audio formats.
