Convert my score to .mp3
Hi everybody,
as said in the title, I would like to export my score to a .mp3 format. I know that this is currently not a feature, but there should be a way to do it. If you could tell me that would be great !

It will be possible with version 2.0, if you obtain and install lame.dll from somewhere else.
Until then save as any of the other audio formats and use some other software to recoded that into mp3
I save the file created with musescore in wav format;
With Vlc (or another free software) to convert the *. wav file to *.mp3 file.
Is quite easy.
Ciao, Franz.
Why do you want to mangle your creations in this way???
MP3 is an awful format which produces artifacts in the high frequency bands of your music even at high bandwidth encodings.
I know it is a fashionable format, but there are better ones out there - OGG Vorbis for example, or one of the lossless formats - FLAC and WMA lossless for example.
Or even better stick to basic PCM (WAV or AIFF depending on your platform) - in terms of today's bandwidth, a PCM sound file is acceptable to transmit across most internet providers.

@ChurchOrganist: I don't really understand your vitriol :-)
I assume, that we are not talking about producing a recording of a symphony orchestra but about exporting midi as software synthesized sound. I don't know the circumstances of the original poster, but I often use that functionality to produce rehearsal mp3's for the singers in my vocal groups and choirs. In those instances mp3 is best.
FLAC and OGG are not playable without installing alternative media players or, what uninitiated computer users would see as, fiddling with unnecessary technical things :-)
WMA is not readily playable on a Mac.
WAV and AIFF take up unnecessary space for something of so low source quality.
Of course, feel free to use the formats you want - but I do think that your post is a bit off topic and a bit too agressive.
All of this is not even considering the research (e.g. J. Berger, Stanford) which suggests that many listeners prefer the 'less perfect' sound of mp3, because they have grown up listening to it. :-)
I also have another job :-(
@Michael
It was a question addressed to me?
A private answer?
Hi Daneel
If you are using a mac, i can recommend the free conversion software XLD.
When I need mp3's I export as .wav and then right click the file(s) and 'open with XLD'
I have XLD set up to automatically convert to mp3 and delete the wav-files. This way seems fast and easy for me, when Musescore can't do it with a built in function :-)
Good luck.

Indeed, this is possible and ever was. But you can just use File > Export and save as MP3 directly nowadays (and since quite a while already too)
