To create an MP3 from an Audacity Project you must "Export" (from the "File" menu).
Audacity does not support MP3 encoding as standard (due to licensing restrictions), so Exporting as MP3 requires LAME to be installed.

If you're unsure of the difference between "Save" and "Export", or what exactly an "Audacity Project" is, then see here: http://manual.audacityteam.org/man/Audacity_Projects
