Change MP3 bitrate

[rayd]

I've just downloaded and installed 1.3.3 and can't find where to set the bit rate for MP3 Export. In 1.3.2 and previous versions it was in Preferences...File Formats - but the Bit Rate box isn't there in the latest version.

Is it hidden somewhere else?

Cheers,

It's now in the export menu. On the same dialog box that you type the name of the file into, there's a button labeled Options. That's the one you want.

Thanks for that. I did actually look there, but missed the Options button. I suppose I was looking for a small Bit Rate window, as in previous versions.

Cheers,

I've not read this full thread, but you realise that you are posting on the end of a topic that is over 3 years old?

In Audacity 1.3.12, in the Export dialogue screen (where you select "MP3" or "WAV" or whatever Export format) there is a button that says "Options".
If the button is not there, then you may be using an obsolete version of Audacity. Audacity 1.3.12 for Windows is available here: http://audacityteam.org/download/beta_windows
