Audacity on Ubuntu not seeing mp3

[anotherwindowsuser]

Hi,

I wanted to edit an mp3 encoded recoring in audactiy in Ubuntu however it wont recognise it. I went to Audacity website and it seems to believe it should work. I have also installed win ffmpeg and it already had gstreamer. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

Wow old thread, but I would install lame. you can install it from the command line. some of the older versions of Audacity used it.

sudo apt install lame
