Title: How to convert an mp3 to ogg. vorbis using audacity?
Post by: Dandelion on June 05, 2009, 03:07:00

How do I convert an mp3 to ogg. vorbis with audacity? Do I need plugins? And how do I lower the volume of a song in audacity?

Load up the MP3, and go to File -> Export as Ogg Vorbis (in the stable version), or File -> Export with the file type set as "Ogg Vorbis Files" (in the beta).

you can go to the volume settings when you edit it inside audacity.  :)

I'm not sure, but now the options are not grayed out. I have no idea why, it just decided to work. :crazy: Thanks for the help! :D

Are there any free ones that you reccomend? And the reason I need to convert songs is for KS. I'm glad I know how to do it now!

I think I know what your promblem is. You probably had the audio paused. It needs to be stopped to modify the options or export the file.
