In this site, and you will find Audacity-compatible plug-ins and libraries such as those needed forMP3 Encoding, or the FFmpeg library for wider file format support. This siteis NOT affiliated with Audacity(R) in any other way than by compatibility withit.
LAME is a library that allows some programs to encode MP3 files.LAME is free,but in some countries you may need to pay a license fee in orderto legally encode MP3 files.
Audacity is a free and open source Audio Editor which allows you totransform ogg to mp3, transform mp3 to ogg, transform vinyls to mp3 or ogg, do anykind of home recording, remove noise, etc. Is WONDERFUL. I have used it torecord and mix some of my bands songs. Feel free to check out this page to download some songs.
To use LAME (or FFmpeg) with Audacity, you can put it anywhereyou want, but the first time you want to export an MP3 file,Audacity will ask you for the location of this file, so you willwant to remember where you put it.

The Audacity(r) QA Team suggests users download the ZIP version instead of the .EXE or .DMG (for Mac) versions.
