Audacity does not export MP3 files directly, but instead uses LAME, an MP3 exporting library available separately. See the documentation for more information.

Would you like to locate LameLib now?

Then, I say yes--and a large window comes up saying "Where is lame lib?" And I double click on the lame lib file, then...nothing. The "open" box at the lower left corner is not clickable. Thanks for getting back to me, anyway! Let me know if you have any other ideas:)

Oddly enough, you can't use the "Save As" in Audacity to make the mp3 conversion happen. Instead, you have to go to the "File" menu and click on "Export" and then select mp3 at what you want the file exported as. If you run into any problem with that process, let me know.

Okay... here's your 'grin for the day'...
