lame_Enc.dll

[anotheoldgit]

I apologise to all those who have previously helped me over this, but I am still experiencing problems.

I am operating on Vista and my version of Audacity is 1.3 Beta (unicode)

When I open Audacity and press Edit/preferences I get a box called 'Audacity Preferences', down the L/H side of this box are the following:

Devices MP3 Export Library
Playback MP3 Library Version Lame 3.98.3
Recording MP3 Library "Download"
Quality
Interface
Tracks Extended Import
Projects FFMPEG import/export library
Libraries FFMPEG library version FFMEPG library not found
Spectrograms FFMPEG library "Locate"
Directories FFMPEG library "Download"
Warnings
Effects
Keyboard OK Cancel
Mouse

Can anyone please tell me what to do please, no rude answers please, :0)

From my previous answer:
ou don't need to do anything with the file.
When you go to produce an mp3 with Audacity, it will ask you for the location of the file. Once Audacity knows where it is it will use it in the future.
Alternatively, you can tell Audacity where to find it right now.
In Audacity, click Edit/Preferences
On the left click Libraries
On the right, next to mp3 library, click locate
Click browse and locate the lame_enc.dll
Click it and then click Open
Click OK
Click OK

You will find the lame_enc.dll file in the folder
C:\Program Files\Lame For Audacity

Thanks once again rojash, I think I will take your advice and wait until I start to convert a vinyl or tape.

What has AB done to my carefully laid out typing, it's all jumbled up, some words should have been on the left and some on the right.

I'm using Audacity 1.3.13 beta (unicode), which can't be much different from the one you've got. If you click Libraries on the L/H side of Audacity Preferences, what do you get? On mine, there is a button for "Mp3 Library, Locate...." to click. If you have saved the previously downloaded Lame_enc.dll on your computer, you can find it from there. Otherwise, try clicking the DOWNLOAD button next to where it says "Lame Mp3 Library" (which I haven't done before). Maybe you can download a version of that Lame library which will be compatible to your version of Audacity. Good luck.... :)

rhythmcrazy, I think you are wasting your time.
You've simply repeated the instructions I've already given twice (plus I included an illustration). You obviously have't seen the earlier thread or you would know that AOG has already downloaded and installed the dll in the correct location.

Apologies rojash, I think you're right - I saw anotheoldgit's post on the main Technology page and clicked on it - not realizing he/she had already come right with this matter. Glad the matter is resolved.

[rojash]

rhythmcrazy, that wasn't meant as a criticism, more a wry observation.

The instructions have been posted repeatedly, but the matter is not resolved (as far as I know). AOG has downloaded and installed the file, but is having difficulty with the final stage of telling Audacity where to find it.

Hoping AOG will have / has had luck with telling Audacity where to locate the dll.
