Here’s another “while we wait” how-to inspired by the comments in a previous post. It even took us a little bit of digging to find so we figured we would set this valuble morsel of information free. If you don’t know already, LAME is a very slick Mp3 encoder. Oddly, the acronym stands for “LAME Ain’t no Mp3 Encoder.”
Who leaves out Mp3 support? Sheesh!
Audacity does not support Mp3 encoding ‘out of the box.’ This is because Audacity, like Ubuntu, is released under an open source license which prohibits the distrubution of any proprietary file or code. Due to its widespread use, you wouldn’t think .mp3 was a proprietary format. But it is!
Just to clarify, this tutorial will enable LAME capabilities for any software that supports it. Ok! The first thing we’ll want to do is grab the tarball of the latest version (right click > save as will not work) :
