Lame help ecoding?

[nymph4]

I use Audacity as my Audio editor and I can't export my WAV traks to MP3 without the Lame Encodder.

I had to uninstall Lame because it was working goofy off aand on.

Is there onother free Encoder that I can use inplace of Lame??

Get Lame again.....

[nymph4]

Can I ask why I should get Lame again it gives me a lot of problems.

Like when I install it it does not show up in the Start Programs List but it is in the Controla Pannels Ad Remove Programs List

LOL big problem indeed. I assume you don't know how to work it.

When you install the LAME file, go to Export --> MP3 in Audacity. When you click on Export as MP3, Audacity will ask for the LAME file and a new window will pop up. All you have to do is find the LAME file installed on the computer (in Program Files) and you're all set.

This is what happens I install it and then it shows up in the Controle Pannles  ad re move Programs List  but Audacity can find it because if I go to the C Drive and Program Files it is not there???

Download the ZIP archive attached to this post and extract its contents.

Copy lame_enc.dll wherever you like and then find it with Audacity.

CO2  is telling yo to start over again.
If you don't understand, or it it still does not work, go to the site and read carefully. Follow the instructions as given.
Install only audacity. Get the LAME encoder.
Do what they tell you on the web site.
Audacity will install the encoder into itself.

EDIT: If you do not get it to wokr, come back here.
There are people here who  are ready to help and have the right answers

OK I Downloaded lame3.98.2.zip

Now I am Running win xp pro so I just Dobble Clicked on the Folder and it opened up and all of these Files are inside.

basic.html
contributors.html
examples.html
free codecs.txt
history.html
id3.html
index.html
modes.html
mode6.html
switchs.html
lame.css
lame.exe
lame_enc.dLL

Now they say to copy the Lame_enc.DLL File to my Desktop for Audacity to find it I get this. But what is the Lame.exe for I thought this is what I use to install it?
And what are all the other Files for and can I Delette them after I copy the Lame_enc.DLL Fill onto my Desktop???

[BC_Programmer]

For god's sake... you don't INSTALL it, you copy the contents. Audacity and other programs that want to export to Mp3 will use the Lame_enc.dll file. THERE IS NO EXECUTABLE.

maybe you gotta do a regsvr32.exe  lame.dll registration so that your computer understands that lame is on your pc. I don't know if it's necessary but I did that.....

Just open up command prompt (AKA CMD on windows vista or windows 7), and just type regsver32.exe lame.dll when you have opened up the directory where lame.dll exists in CMD.

[Carbon Dudeoxide]

Nope. Not necessary at all. Just show Audacity the gold and it will work for you.

OK I get that I just copy lame_enc.dLL
any place and let Audacity find it.

What I ment to ask and I did it in the incorect way is this.

There is a File called Lame.exe  and a whole list of other Files and they are all in the Zip Folder.

Now after I copy the Lame_enc.DLL File out of the zip Folder and put it on my Desktop can I Delette the zip Folder it was in or does it need the Files that came with it in the zip Folder??

Did you get the lame dll to work with audacity? Can you now export your work into mp3 files? If that  is all working, you can delete everything but the lame dll. which should be left in the folder you have extracted it to.

[Carbon Dudeoxide]

If you want to continue exporting MP3 files, you will have to keep the .dll file.

All the other files can be deleted.
