How do I download and install the LAME MP3 encoder? 

Because of software patents, we cannot distribute MP3 encoding software ourselves. Follow these 
instructions to use the free LAME encoder to export MP3 files with Audacity.   

Windows OS Users, follow these steps 

z

 

Check your CD disk , there should have 

this file in the CD disk , and you 

can copy into your computer somewhere that you can find to reload it on Audacity   

z

 

  If you can not find out this file, you can download and follow below steps to install it. Go 
to the 

LAME download page

. (Steps as Below) 

z

 

Under "For Audacity on Windows", left-click the link "Lame v3.98.2 for Audacity on 
Windows.exe" and save the file anywhere on your computer. 

Do not right-click the link 

to the .exe file.

   

z

 

Double-click 

"Lame_v3.98.2_for_Audacity_on_Windows.exe"

 to launch it (you can 

safely ignore any warnings that the "publisher could not be verified"). 

z

 

Follow the "Setup" instructions to install LAME for Audacity. Do not change the offered 
destination location of "C:\Program Files\Lame for Audacity". 

z

 

The first time you use the "Export as MP3" command, Audacity will ask for the location of 

"lame_enc.dll"

. Navigate to "C:\Program Files\Lame for Audacity", select "lame_enc.dll", 

then click "Open" and "OK". 

z

 

If you prefer the Zip option for the LAME download, save the zip file to anywhere on your 
computer, extract "lame_enc.dll" to any location, then show Audacity where to find it as 
in Step 5 above. 

z
