Audacity and Making the News
We have come across a few people having problems with MP3 files and Making the News. After altering some of the settings in Audacity we have found a combination that works. Note: other settings may well work but these are the setting we have tested.
Open Audacity. Ensure that the Lame MP3 codec has been setup as per these instructions.
In Audacity.. Edit > Preferences > Quality
Default Sample Rate: 22050
Default Sample Format: 16-bit
All other setting left as Default
In Audacity.. Edit > Preferences > File Formats
MP3 Bit Rate: 64
