LISTENING AND EXPORTING TO WAV/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 as an MP3 file after you have recorded it using Audacity,
you will need to obtain and install the optional "LAME MP3 Encoder" plug-in. Once a file is in
MP3 format it can be placed on any MP3 compatible mobile digital device.
