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

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.
The sourceforge Audacity site very clearly says that the LAME encoder
is to enable the *export* of MP3 files. I wish to *import* them, and
there is no mention of that in any of the LAME documentation.
There might also be an issue if your mp3 files don't have extensions.
But, alas, they do.
