How to Convert Audacity Files to MP3?

ORIGINAL POST

Hello, newbie here! I am trying to do some audio work for ACX and am using Audacity to record. My problem is that ACX only accepts mp3 files and Audacity records in aup files. I am not tech savvy this way so I’m struggling a bit.

How can I convert them? Or record in mp3 form on Audacity?

Any help or advice is appreciated

OK, record your files, edit them as required. Now once you have that done go to the top menu and select File - then Export - Then select Export as mp3. However you will need to install the FFMPEG add-on for that to work. Oh and for a lot more audacity help visit r/audacity

It works fine if it's just a few songs. Doing batches is unnecessarily complicated. I prefer JRiver Media Center. It's not free, but it's literally a few mouseclicks and you can convert thousands and thousands of songs.

If you want free, VLC can be had. It's not exactly simple, but still easier than Audacity.

It would work, but it's unnecessarily complicated. There are loads of free audio convertors out there, I use this one https://www.mediahuman.com/audio-converter/

You can try Foobar (music player) or possibly Audacity (audio editor).

What program did you use to rip them? It might have an option to save as .mp3

Is there any way to convert .adpcm files into mp3?

Posted by Trazmaball · in r/audio · 6 years ago

Me and a couple of people have been trying to convert a .adpcm file into a useable mp3 but the closest we've gotten was to where it sounded very jittery. Is it possible to convert a .adpcm file into an mp3 but have it also sound good?

If it's just a single file, try find something to convert it to .wav or .aiff first. Audacity might be able to do it

Some versions of Audacity required you to manually install the LAME CODEC to export MP3. Try reinstalling that and see if that solves your issue.

I export to whatever format I want in the DAW. I don't convert the file after the fact, as that can lead to degradation, especially from one lossy format to another.

If you can't do that, then just use VLC, ffmpeg, or something similar.

It’s my mistake. I wanna convert to MP4 to upload to YT. I want to display the album cover while playing the music.

Well that wouldn't just be a conversion. You'd need a program that adds the picture to the audio and exports as a video.

I use Davinci Resolve, but I'm sure there are less complex options than that out there. Be wary of some online solutions, as they may compress the audio file.

You could just convert whatever format to MP4. It’s super easy to convert to whatever format you want.

An .aup file is an Audacity project file and as previously mentioned, doesn't contain any audio. Your friend needs to send you either the .wav losless saved audio file or the the corresponding folder containing the audio.

FrequencyExploiter · 5 years ago

.aup files are the details of the saved project. if your friend, sent you 1 file. you don't have any audio to convert. there will be a directory that has the same name as the aup file. in there are the mp3's.(or audio that is saved)

Why cant he export it to mp3? and send you that.

Convert .aup to .mp3 file?

Posted by verymuchmeg · in r/audacity · 6 years ago

I was trying to save a sentimental voicemail when I knew my old phone was dying. I managed to play it on speakerphone while recording via Audacity on a public computer. I then saved and emailed the file to myself, but because I wasn’t familiar with the software, I didn’t know that I needed to convert the file to a different extension type to be able to play it. So, now I have a .aup file (ostensibly with said voicemail held hostage?) in my email inbox and no way to open it on my iPhone. Thinking I had successfully managed to save the voicemail from oblivion, I let the rest of the month’s service run out on my old (then newly defunct) cell phone before porting my number to a regular carrier and opening an account there. So, unless I can retrieve it from what I have in the email, it is well and truly gone, as accessing it from my old voice mailbox directly is obviously not an option.

Does anybody know how I can play it/turn it into a .mp3 file?

I did not; I haven’t had access to a computer where I could download Audacity and I don’t have access to the computer where I first used the program anymore.

ok. i think opening the file with audacity is your next step, then you can export it as an mp3

You are out of luck. Unless you saved the project on the public computer, it is still on that computer, and you have access to the computer.

Sorry.

Hi there,

Please help.
