| 658607 | 2008-04-14 06:06:00 | Audacity is running well . . . encodes/decodes MP3s, RAW and WMA . . etc . . . So now, as I followed the instructions Audacity told me to get LAME and put it someplace where I could find it easily enough . . and offered the advice of putting it on the desktop in a dedicated folder . Did all that . Like I said, Audacity does all I can ask it to do . . . so do I need to leave LAME on the desktop forever? Once it's used or found by Audacity, can I then delete it or move it to a less conspicuous place . . . like the Recycle bin? :stare: |

| 658608 | 2008-04-14 06:09:00 | yes, it should be installed to the system folder! | SolMiester (139) | ||
| 658609 | 2008-04-14 06:38:00 | yes, it should be installed to the system folder! WHOSE system folder? Audacity's? Windows i386? |

| 658610 | 2008-04-14 07:01:00 | windows because it is an installed codex! | SolMiester (139) | ||
| 658611 | 2008-04-14 07:06:00 | Can you illuminate a little? Dark here where I am right now. |

| 658612 | 2008-04-14 07:10:00 | If concerned wether or not to delete the desktop file, simply delete to recycle bin. Test the codex still works. For the actually file location, I'm not sure, probably system32, any reason you wish to know? |

| 658613 | 2008-04-14 07:54:00 | You don't need anything on your desktop. Feel free to remove the shortcut. Applications will never depend on desktop shortcuts to find each other - they either use a fixed location or look it up, an option in their configuration or in the registry. | TGoddard (7263) | ||

You could use the Audacity Plug-ins Folder. |

I understand that all . . . but if Audacity already used the LAME part and originally found it on the desktop, I just bet it cannot find it again if I move it . . right? What I wanted to know is if Audacity now has the LAME installed and doesn't need the . dll files that are on the desktop . . . or does Audacity needs to access that particular LAME file every time it needs to encode/decode? I was hoping here that Audacity only needed it once for all time . |

| 658616 | 2008-04-14 20:09:00 | As you will be using this .dll file directly for encoding it is recommended to save it into your Audacity installation folder. audacityteam.org ion |
