Installing the LAME encoder for Audacity

Today at the workshop participants used Audacity to edit their audio files recorded using the Zoom H2 Handy Portable Stereo Recorder*.  When we wanted to export the files as mp3, we realized that we were not able to, because the LAME encoder had not been installed on the machines we were using. Follow the instructions at the Audacity website, and you should be good to go.

* The Zoom H2 Handy Portable Stereo Recorder is very nice and probably worthy of a blog post in and of itself. I highly recommend it and have provided an Amazon affiliate link so you can check it out.
