Load Audacity and look under "Project' It has the' upload file type' choices.

OK, I downloaded Audacity and read the manual. But when I go to open one of my MP3 files, the program tells me both that it can't read the file type *and* that the file doesn't exist!

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.
