== = = =Exporting your Sound file as an MP3 = Using Audacity on the current software version of NSW DER Laptop to export your sound file as an MP3 will result in you sounding like a Chipmunk ( i.e the sound is played back too fast!) The cause of this is a small file called //lame_enc.dll// and this file is not easily replaced as users do not have write permission to this part of the laptop. Good news is that it is expected that this problem will be fixed in the next version on the laptop image called "S2" that due for release early next year. In the meantime - here's a workaround//.//

1. Download the lame_enc.dll below saving it to your desktop or some other part of your laptop that you can save files to. 2. Run Audacity and press //Ctrl+P// to open the preferences. Select the //File Formats// tab. 3. Click on the //Find Library// button. 4. A dialog box will open that asks you if you //would like to locate the lame_enc.dll now?// Select //Yes.// 5. Navigate your way to the //lame_enc.dll//, select it and click on //Open.//

You should now be able to export you sound file in MP3 format. Audacity will //remember// where the lame encoder file is until you logoff or shutdown the laptop.  Please remember that you can still save the sound file you have created as a wav file without performing the above procedure.
