I still have not been successful getting Audacity and LAME to talk with each other, but I was able to convert my wav to mp3 in a "round about way". I kept thinking of what I know and I DO know how to rip from a cd for my mp3 player. So...I burned a cd of my wav file and then ripped it to mp3. It worked and I was then able to e-mail it.
Thanks to all who have given their time, energy, resources, and suggestions. I am going to continue to work on audacity with lame.
Thanks,
Kathi
