Audacity: unable to open the MP3 encoding library

Salut -  
 Anonymous user -
Hello,
I cut a song and now I want to export it as mp3, but it says: unable to open the mp3 encoding library.
And if I want to export it as wav, it says: WAV file writing error (disk full?).

Thank you.

Hello
1 You don't have the codec, you need to add the LAME codec to Audacity
2 It's because the WAV file is large and your HDD doesn't have the space.
Do you have the latest version of Audacity?

Multiple problems sometimes lead to one solution...

Here it is all explained here.
https://sourceforge.net/projects/audacity/?s=install&i=lame-mp3&lang=en

However, I'm asking you for the version because if you have an old one, you need another one. So update Audacity.

Hello,
while researching your question, I realized that it was more complex than it seemed!

What is your version of Audacity, what is your OS 32/64 bit important!

???

My questions are about the "difference" between these 2 links:

https://sourceforge.net/projects/audacity/?s=install&i=lame-mp3&lang=fr

https://www.commentcamarche.net/telecharger/audio-musique/13535-lame-mp3-for-audacity/

A detailed question, a precise answer! ☼► If the question is resolved, check the desired option. Keep your software up to date! and... Thank you is not a luxury ♪♫.

What's strange is that CCM is ahead of the official Audacity site lol
3.99.5
versus 3.99.3 lol


but where there's a twist is that if you use the old Audacity, the LAME codec isn't the same.

but these versions, I don't think the codec is different, but it seems like there’s an issue with the info on CCM! They don’t have the same size
personally, I would stick to the official site.
but it would be good to understand and fix if there’s a problem with the CCM download.

► 
What is your version of Audacity, what is your OS 32/64bit
important! ???

or if an "Audio contributor" happens to be around!

Okay, you're right ^^
But I can't find it in 64-bit Audacity! Apparently, there's only 32-bit.

In this link : https://www.commentcamarche.net/telecharger/audio-musique/13535-lame-mp3-for-audacity/
at the bottom of the page it is stated:

Cons:

- Available only in 64bit (for Windows)
- The software is in dll file, good knowledge of the registry is required

There is a problem, I think...
For me, it is installed and I can't find a 64bit version for Audacity, and for LAME, I don’t have it in the program
but in C:\Program Files (x86)\Audacity\

and besides, it says it’s a dll, but that’s the old one, the new one is an exe. I’m checking, I have the installations on my PC...

Don’t you think there are errors?
