Could not open mp3 encoding library

Post by ronniemac » Mon Apr 16, 2012 10:41 pm

Audacity 1.2.6 re-installed on new PC (Windows 7)
Dowloaded lame3.99.5-64 from rarewares

Export multiple mp3
Show Adacity where lame_enc.dll can be found

Audacity says: "Could not open mp3 encoding library"
But it's there.
Version problem?

I doubt you could do anything useful with that combination. Audacity 1.2.6 will not even open on some newer computers. Download and install Version2 along with the associated lame and FFMpeg.
