2.3. Adding the optional LAME audio encoder

Soundslides and Soundslides Plus can use the free, open-source LAME audio application to encode AIFF and WAV files into MP3 files when importing. This allows you to work with uncompressed audio formats without using an application such as Switch or iTunes to encode your MP3s manually.

For more information about LAME and about MP3 encoding, please see http://lame.sourceforge.net.

This is purely an optional installation.

Note: Soundslides, LLC is not affiliated with The LAME Project.

Installation

Immediately after launching Soundslides or Soundslides Plus, pull down the "Help" menu to "LAME audio encoder."

 

Then click the "Load LAME" button and locate the LAME application on your computer.
