1. Audacity Lame Could Not Open Mp3 Encoding Library

Hi All,I have loaded, removed and reloaded both Audacity (1.3 beta) and Lamemultiple times (being sure to remove every evidence of old downloads forlame) and continue to get the 'could not open mp3 encoding library' messageevery time I try to export to mp3. I follow audacity prompts to downloadand browse for the lame dll, it finds it each time but gives me the samemessage as described above.

I have Audacity to record my own spoken material. To convert it to MP3 I needed Lame. I have installed it, following the step-by-step program. However, when I want to convert a recording to MP3 I get the pop up Could Not Open MP3 Encoding Library. I have repeated this quite a few times, always - not surprisingly - with the same result. Feb 22, 2013  Hi, I am using Audacity 2.0.3 for Mac on system 10.6.8. I recorded a 1-minute audio with voice and music. I exported it but I get a message saying it can't open the MP3 encoding library. IM new to audacity and i have a problem converting the aup file to mp3. I searched and found that i need to use lame encoder. In one of the procedures it says that after i unzip the file i will have to save it anywer an locate it again. I did save it by opening the lame file as.txt and saving as a all files. I dont know where i went wrong then after that, i went to audacity and wen i was.

I’m running Audacity 1.3.9 (Unicode) under Windows XP SP3 on a hand-me-down laptop.I’m trying to use Audacity to export to an MP3 file but keep getting this message:“Could not open MP3 encoding library!”I’ve tried downloading various versions of the lameenc.dll file and then manually selecting them in Audacity when I attempt the export operation, but to no avail.I’ve read numerous messages in the Audacity forums from others who over the years who have run into the same problem, but I’m having trouble understanding much of what has been posted. I’m disabled by chronic health problems that have impaired my cognitive skills and I also suffer from intermittent seizures that impair my memory.I’d be grateful for some help in troubleshooting this problem. Hi cholla!Thanks for jumping in to try and help me out.Before posting my query I had already followed, over and over, essentially the same steps that you outlined in your post. But I always ended up with that same error message.Here’s what I did. Maybe I’m missing an important step.

Could you review my steps to see if you can see where I’ve gone wrong?I download four (count them! Four!) copies of Lamev3.98.3forAudacityonWindows(4).exe) and dutifully installed each one of them, one after the other, in Program Files/Lame For Audacity.Each time, with a fresh copy of lameenc.dll, I would retry exporting my project as an MP3. And each time I got the same little “Locate Lame” dialogue box.

Inside the little white field labeled “Location of lameenc.dll:” this is what appeared:C:Program FilesLame For Audacitylameenc.dllBut, when I clicked “OK” I got this message:“Could not open MP3 encoding library!”I’d be grateful if you (or anyone for that matter) could review the steps I took and point out to me where I made my misstep. This is so danged frustrating to be spending so much time on something that should be so easy to do. Hi again, guys!

I’ve got good news and bad news.The good news is that I was able to get Audacity to produce an MP3 file.The bad news is that I had to use a different computer running Win 2K instead of the laptop running a Toshiba version of Windows XP.As far as I can tell I’m running identical versions of Audacity and Lame on both computers.So the problem may originate in an incompatibility between Audacity/Lame and the Toshiba version of XP.I’ve not been doing too well the last few weeks, so I’ve been working almost exclusively on my hand-me-down laptop while resting in bed. But I seemed to recall having used Audacity on my old (also hand-me-down) PC to produce MP3s.So this morning I forced myself to drag my sorry you-know-what out of bed and sat down at my desk and fired up the PC, ran Audacity, and it worked without a hitch using the same,aup file that Audacity on the Toshiba had been choking on for the last couple of days.So, I don’t think there’s any point in trying to solve the mystery of why Audacity/Lame won’t work on the Toshiba.

I’ll just use the other computer for making MP3s from now on.Thanks for your tenacity in sticking with me in trying to lick this problem. I’m grateful to you both for your continued generosity in sharing your expertise and time with me. Since you are used to Audacity using the PC might be your best solution.I use dbPowerAmp version 10 that I’ve had for a long time. I’ve modified it quite a bit & it works well. The newer version has a trial that expires.

Version 10 is available on the internet but I’m not to sure about the download sites.I also use BeSweet with BeLight GUI. It also takes some additional files including Lamev3.98 to update the old version that comes with it.Exact Audio Copy can also be set & used to create.mp3’s from.wav so there should be some options for you to be able to do this with your laptop.Also CDex can do this conversion.
