I read your article Audacity can't save mp3 audio files and am still puzzled because I downloaded the LAME Mp3 converter but still cannot convert to mp3. Do I have to put the LAME library somewhere special? Transfer songs from itunes to ipod. 2018-12-13 The LAME library is not installed into /Library/Application Support/audacity/Plug-ins. It is installed into /Library/Application Support/audacity/libs. If you double-click the file 'Lame Library v3.99.5 for Audacity.pkg', it will install the LAME library into the correct location, and the next time you start Audacity it will find the library.
