Getting Stuff Done How do I .... ?

How do i export an ardour file as an MP3 file? the options give me a wave file but no MP3

#2

For legal and audiophonic reasons you can’t. Export as wave and use your favorite converter (lame, foobar) to make the mp3.

THANK YOU! can you recommend a good converter for this?

oh lame…got it

dbpoweramp http://www.dbpoweramp.com/ is also a good one and works well in wine. It uses lame but they’ve also got codec packs for apple lossless, etc. Has a fancy GUI for bulk conversion.

SoundConverter / soundKonverter

If you want a more advanced sound editor that will export to many formats you can try Audacity.
