A: First, you download the Audacity installer from http://audacity.sourceforge.net/ Second, you install Audacity. Nothing complicated here. Third, Download the LAME MP3 Encoder from http://audacity.sourceforge.net/download/windows Save it to someplace remote, like its own folder in "My Documents" Fourth, unzip the .zip file in the folder you saved the LAME file to. Fifth, open Audacity and record a short sound clip. Sixth, Click File>Export as MP3. Audacity will then ask you to locate the lameenc.dll (or something similar) Seventh, navigate to the LAME folder you created earlier, and open the lameenc.dll (or -similar-.dll) Eighth, Congratulations! You just set up Audacity to export .MP3 files! :D
