Because many people don't read the FAQs or even know they exist, and there is
no point repeating in an email what is on the FAQ.  What is it you want? You
asked "please tell me on your site where to look it get it" which indicated you
had not seen the FAQ, and you have been informed precisely what you asked.
If you don't understand the FAQ, then please look at the more detailed help
here:
http://audacityteam.org/wiki/index.php?title=Lame_Installation

on which page you need to look at the section for your operating system e.g.
if you are on Windows, look at the Windows section. We can do no more than
that, when you have not told us

* whatever your problem with LAME is
* what operating system you are on (e.g. Windows XP,  OS X 10.4, and if you
   are on OS X, whether you have an Intel Mac or Power PC)
* what version of Audacity you are using (see Help > About Audacity or
   Audacity > About Audacity in the program).

If you want help with a specific issue, please include all the above information
so we can actually help you. Thank you.

http://audacity.sourceforge.net/download/

    | im not interested in reading the FAQ.... thats why i chose to

The email link is (as stated) for assistance *after* you have read the FAQs
and if you are then still having difficulty.  Also we would naturally expect you
to be prepared to read support documents which you are pointed to when
we respond by email e.g. those in the response you have already received.    

We cannot give you one direct download link for the MP3 encoder because
the encoder you need depends on the version of Audacity you have and
the operating system you have, and despite us asking you for this
information, you still have not told us. Therefore you must choose from
the four listed below.  Also you need to read the FAQ or Wiki support
document to find out how to install the encoder. That is why those
documents are there.

Windows (any version):
http://www.gaclrecords.org.uk/lame_enc.dll

For Audacity 1.2.5 for Intel Macs
http://spaghetticode.org/lame/libmp3lame-osx-universal-3.97.zip

For Audacity 1.2.6 for Power PCs
http://spaghetticode.org/lame/LameLib-Carbon-3.91.sit

For Audacity 1.3.3 (Beta) (Universal Binary for Intel Macs and Power PCs)
http://spaghetticode.org/lame/libmp3lame-osx-universal-3.97.zip

If you are not interested in reading a single web page to find the link
you need, we are not interested in continuing to reply to your emails.
We cannot provide you with a single link because we don't know what
operating system you use or what version of audacity you have (despite
the notices on the site asking you to provide that information).

Audacity is created, supported and maintained by volunteers because we
care enough want to contribute something to others. If you don't care
enough to read the documentation, then we certainly don't care enough to
spoon feed you. After all it's not as if we get anything back from you.

You need Audacity 1.2.6 from:
http://audacity.sourceforge.net/download/windows

1.2.6 is not older than 1.3.3 but is a stable version whereas 1.3.3 is Beta
and unstable. We recommend continuing to use the stable version if you
have been using a 1.2.x version of Audacity up to now.    
 
ADDING LAME TO YOUR COMPUTER    

Download lame_enc.dll directly here:
http://www.gaclrecords.org.uk/lame_enc.dll

Once you have this copy of lame_enc.dll saved to your computer, open Audacity
and click Edit > Preferences.

    * Go to the 'File Formats' tab. If this is not visible, click on the
       left-pointing arrow top right of the window.
    * In the bottom of the window there is a section called 'MP3
       Export Setup'.
    * Click on the "Find Library" button  
    * This will ask you if you want to locate the LAME encoder. Click 'yes'.
    * In the dialogue box, go to the folder where you put
       lame_enc.dll earlier, and select it.
    * Click OK.

On the same File Formats tab, you then set the bitrate of the exported
MP3. The default bitrate is 128 kbps. A higher bitrate gives you higher
quality at the expense of a larger filesize, and vice-versa. 128 kbps
takes up about 1 MB of space per minute.

Please note as Richard said, we would kindly expect you to read the help
documentation and FAQs, and the links that you are given in support emails.
I am the list owner and this is our policy. It is in your interest to do this as
well, as this will normally give you an immediate answer without having to
wait for an email response.

Thank you

    | thank you!...for the lame link!!!!....  dont understand why my
    | request was so hard to understand??

We will not go on explaining this. We are not prepared to put the entire
content of already existing support documents into emails unless the user
is experiencing difficulty after having read them *and* is prepared to let
us help them by telling us their operating system and version of Audacity
when asked to do so (so we can put only the text relevant to their system
in the email). The only exception would be if users explained to us they
had problems using a browser or accessing the internet.        

    | I installed vesrion 1.2.6 yesterday  when i first came on your site
    | yesterday..... i first read about  1.3.3.having  all these awesome new
    | features! .... thinking yes! its he newest version to upgrade to!!...

    |  said 1.3.3 was unstable!!...  you should remove it for download from
    | your site so someone wont download it by mistake!!..     like i alsomst
    | did....................

So that you are clear, 1.2.6 is essentially based on older, stable code but
the point I was making is that where there are different series numbers of
programs on a site (e.g. 1.2, 1.3) it usually means that one is stable and
one is experimental. Sometimes the stable version can actually be of more
recent release date than the Beta (e.g. if an urgent fix to a problem with
the stable code has been released). All you need to know is that the latest
available versions of both the stable and unstable lines will always be
available on the site - older versions of each line will be removed.

The Beta line is there for the purpose of users who are already experienced
with the stable line, would find the new features in the Beta useful and
are prepared to give us feedback on how well the program works in their
hands, so that we can fix problems that arise before the code is released as
stable. Many users do use the Beta and help us by reporting such problems,
and accept its unstable, unfinished nature as is clearly stated on the Beta
download page. When the Beta 1.3 line is fully stable it will be released as
the next stable version (1.4.0) and the benefits of having it previously
available as a public Beta release should be evident in it being far more
useful and stable than if it had just been released into the wild without any
significant user feedback about it.
