CONVERTING TO AN MP3

Windows Users
Audacity MP3 Encoder add-on - You will need this in order to convert your recorded files to MP3 from the .wav file you created in Audacity. . Click here to download and save (do not run) on your DESKTOP (very important so you can find it later on).

Once this is downloaded, following these instructions AFTER you have completed your file recording in Audacity:
Follow the steps to convert your audio to an MP3 (File...etc.)

• When Audacity prompts you to find the LAME Encoder, find it on your desktop (where you saved it)...
• Double click on the LAME icon
• Continue the conversion process by following the prompts
• Save the MP3 file in a place you will be able to find it.
• You're done! (This is easier than it sounds, believe me)
