ok so, i try to export a song as an mp3 but then it comes up with a ”need to locate lame.enc dll” error thing. so i locate it, click open, then it says ”could not open mp3 encoding” so i click ok and try to do it again and it says the same thing! the site for audacity even says that ”you find it when you try to export something as an mp3, click it, then click open.” and it also says ”you only have to do it once”. i’ve been tryin to get this stupid thing to work all morning. help please?

Your lame_enc.dll file is likely corrupt. Try downloading a new lame_enc.dll file, like the one from DLL-Files.com here:
http://www.dll-files.com/dllindex/dll-files.shtml?lame_enc
…and load it in. You should be fine.
Make sure it’s in a location on your computer where it’s not going to be moved/disturbed. If you move the lame_enc.dll file then the next time Audacity tries to convert to .mp3 you’ll need to re-find the file for Audacity.

As far as i can remember you could launch lame directly from cmd.exe windows shell. Save the work as .wav file and pass it to lame.exe Should look like this (via cmd.exe):
C:/progz/lame/lame.exe –preset billboard.wav
If you double click lame.exe it exits, afaik =)
Some command line examples
Fixed bit rate 128kbps encoding:
lame sample.wav sample.mp3
Fixed bit rate jstereo 128kbps encoding, high quality (recommended):
lame -h sample.wav sample.mp3
Note the homepage: lame.sourceforge.net
