If you want to save your recording in MP3 format, you must have a LAME MP3 encoder installed on your computer. (liteRecorder doesn't come with the MP3 encoder). liteRecorder recommends LAME MPEG Audio Layer III (MP3) encoder.

LAME is world’s most used open-source MP3 encoding engine and it’s freeware.

If you haven’t installed LAME, please download it from the following link:

Download 1 (Free-Codecs.com) - LAME MP3 Encoder 3.97 Final (3.98 is not recommened)

Download 2 (RareWares) - LAME 3.97 release

Download and open the zip file to extract the lame_enc.dll file. Copy this file into the folder where liteRecorder is installed. (C:\Program Files\innoheim\liteRecorder)

As of December 11 2007, LAME 3.97 is the most current version. If you would like to have more information about LAME, please visit The LAME Project page.

You will see that you now have MP3 option is enabled.
