Convert wav to mp3

[trevorc]

I am having a bit of trouble with the software when I

try to convert from.wav to.mp3 AFTER the wav has been created in AUDACITY

(the reason I do this is because, especially for "live" tracks, I like to

fade in & fade out the track).

 

The message I get is "Cannot open the file ..... because the required ACM

codec is not installed on this PC.

 

Please note I used to do this conversion fine on my old PC using Musicmatch

version 8, but then I got a new PC & it has never worked since - I now get a

mnessage about "incompatible audio file formats" from Musicmatch. So I

thought Musicmatch must have been corrupt, but of course it isn't because

when I try it to perform a conversion to either an old file that I'd run

through Audacity ages ago or a new file which hasn't been run through

Audacity, it works perfectly well. I came upon Switch & thought I'd try it,

and got the same results.

 

So my belief is that the problem must lie with the missing ACM codec, but

how do I find out which one it is, and where do I get it from.

 

Hope you can help.

 

Regards,

Trevor
