Right then peeps, to install the mp3 LAME on audacity go to this page and click on the download for the version of audacity you need; i.e for windows or mac.
If you are using version 1.3.3 you should be able to export to mp3 straight away with no need for the LAME. If you are not able to do that in 1.3.3 follow these instructions.
For older versions once you have downloaded the zip file unzip the file lame_enc.dll using winrar or winzip to your audacity installation folder.
Run audacity and choose the file you wish to export to mp3 and click on export to mp3 from the file menu and click on the 'find library' button. In older versions it will ask if you want to locate the LAME encoder, click yes.
In 1.3.3 click on the browse button that should appear.
Locate the DLL in the folder you placed it in (should be your audacity installation folder for easy finding) and click open, you should be presented with a dialog box where you can now choose the bit rate etc of your mp3.
Hopefully this will help those of you who are having problems with audacity and mp3s.
