“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines, sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.” - Mark Twain

I need help!reply

lovespb:

Can anybody help me? I’ve been trying for almost two hours now to convert my podcast into an mp3 format. I downloaded LAME, and all it keeps saying is that it cannot open the library. I’m desperate for help, I’ve been reading all the Audacity manuals and nothing will work!

yes…it just took forever but i figured it out too.ok…this is what you need to do:

·  Under “For Audacity on Windows”, left-click the link “Lame v3.98.2 for Audacity on Windows.exe” and save the file anywhere on your computer. Do not right-click the link to the .exe file.

·  Double-click “Lame_v3.98.2_for_Audacity_on_Windows.exe” to launch it (you can safely ignore any warnings that the “publisher could not be verified”).

·  Follow the “Setup” instructions to install LAME for Audacity. Do not change the offered destination location of “C:\Program Files\Lame for Audacity”.

·  The first time you use the “Export as MP3” command, Audacity will ask for the location of “lame_enc.dll”. Navigate to “C:\Program Files\Lame for Audacity”, select “lame_enc.dll”, then click “Open” and “OK

The part that confused me was:

·  The first time you use the “Export as MP3” command, Audacity will ask for the location of “lame_enc.dll”. Navigate to “C:\Program Files\Lame for Audacity”, select “lame_enc.dll”, then click “Open” and “OK

what you need to do is when audacity asks for the location of “lame_enc.dll”, type in “C:\Program Files\Lame for Audacity” then press okay. The rest should easily come up…then try uploading it again to tumblr. it will have the mp3 icon. hope this helps!!
