I want to convert this to an MP3 file.

Please tell me what settings I should use for the MP3 file, eg; MP3
Fraunhofer IIS MPEG Layer-3 Codec (professional), attributes eg 128
kbit/sec, 48.000 Hz, Mono


If you take Don's advice to use the defaults (and his advice is
perfectly reasonable) you'll likely end up with a stereo file with the
same audio on both channels. There's nothing wrong with that other than
that the file is twice as big as it needs to be. So if you want a mono
MP3 file, you'll need to find the setting for it.


Where can I find the authentic site for Razor LAME?

A couple of sites which Google threw up are;

https://www.free-codecs.com/download/razorlame.htm

https://lame.sourceforge.io/


What is the main development / release / distribution site for Razor
LAME? Is there some other LAME package which I should use instead of
Razor?

Thank you.
