OK, I downloaded Audacity and read the manual. But when I go to

Help?
Did you also download the optional LAME Mp3 encoder, from the same
page as the Mac download? I think this is required for MP3 loading as
well as exporting, and they were not permitted to simply build it in
because of copyright issues or some such.

There might also be an issue if your mp3 files don't have extensions.
I know Macs are not supposed to care, but sometimes the file info
gets corrupted and the Mac doesn't know what the association is any
more unless you have the proper extension. I use extensions all the
time now.
