Thanks for the great instructions. However, something is wrong on my
end, does not "compute". See notes below. Don't worry if I don't
make sense on your end, perhaps CW can use my Log-me-in to take a
look tomorrow. But if something suddenly "computes" for you, let me
know. -Darlene Reger<br>

"attaching" LAME to Audacity in order to export an MP3
(that's how you save). I should probably just use the AUP
file for my purposes, if I transcribe (type) it myself, and
the AUP file just stays on my Mac. But I will eventually
need to <i>export a file if I have someone else type a
transcript for my further editing</i> (MP3). <br>

<div>I downloaded the Audacity beta version from here: <a
moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://audacity.sourceforge.net/download/beta_mac">http://audacity.sourceforge.net/download/beta_mac</a></div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Then I opened the file and drug the Audacity icon to my
applications folder. Then I ran it and recorded a short note. I
tried to save it as an MP3 file and got an error that I needed
to install LAME. So I went to this page:</div>
<div><a moz-do-not-send="true" href="http://lame.buanzo.com.ar/">http://lame.buanzo.com.ar/</a>
and downloaded Lame_Library_v3.98.2_for_Audacity_on_OSX.dmg</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>After it downloaded I clicked the icon and it opened a finder
window that showed just a single file called "Lame Library
v3.98.2 for Audacity.pkg." I double clicked this file and it
asked me to install it. I just accepted all the defaults and
clicking next and finally the "install" button. It asked me for
my system password then installed.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>In Audacity I clicked the "Audacity" menu, then preferences
to see a window of options. I clicked "LIbraries" on the left
side and in the top section chose MP3 library: Locate...</div>

tells me files with "." are for systems only and will be hidden.
Same w/WAV choice! <big><big>*</big></big><br>

I clicked "OK" to get out of preferences and then I clicked export,
gave a name and chose MP3 Files as the format. This time everything
worked.

</b><i>export the file in FLAC or WAV format</i>. Both of these
are higher quality than MP3 (though this is more theoretical
than practical). FLAC is slightly bigger to e-mail than MP3 and
may require a plugin to listen to (the free program VLC can play
it perfectly on any computer). WAV can be bigger yet but pretty
much every computer can play it and you can zip the files to
make them smaller.</div>
