If you prefer the Zip option for the LAME download, save the zip file to anywhere on your computer, extract "lame_enc.dll" to any location, then show Audacity where to find it as in Step 5 above.Navigate to "C:\Program Files\Lame for Audacity", select "lame_enc.dll", then click "Open" and "OK". The first time you use the "Export as MP3" command, Audacity will ask for the location of "lame_enc.dll".

Do not change the offered destination location of "C:\Program Files\Lame for Audacity".
