IMPORTANT NOTES
LISTENING AND EXPORTING TO MP3
To listen to your digitized audio, you will need a third party application that can play WAV files. You can also use any standard
audio CD burning software to burn your WAV files to an audio CD.
If you would like to save your vinyl recordings as MP3 files after recording them using AUDACITY, you will need to install the
optional "LAME MP3 ENCODER" plug-in to the software provided on the CD. Once a file is in MP3 format it can be played on
any MP3 compatible mobile digital device.
The provided CD also included the LAME MP3 Encoder plug-in.
In AUDACITY, when you attempt to EXPORT AS MP3… for the first time after installing the lame MP3 encoder plug-in,
you will be asked for the location of the plug-in file. Browse to the LAME MP3 PLUGIN FOLDER you copied the plug-in
file to and select the file. Subsequently, audacity will remember the location of this file.
