Question

converting .wav files to .mp3 files in Adobe Audition 3

I am trying to save a .wav file as an mp3. file.  When I go to Save As and click on file type/Mp3, it asks me if I want to overwrite the current .wav file.  When I say yes, it saves it as a .wav file.  How do get it to save as a .mp3 file?  I'm certain that there is an easy way to do this, but I'm missing it.  Any help from this knowledgeable forum would be most appreciated.

thanks

What does it show in the Save As Type box when you select to save as .mp3? Does it say *.wav as well as *.mp3?

Next time you want to save as an MP3, type the full name of the file you want to save with the full extension in the file name box - so that would be {yourfile}.mp3. This will reset the default save to the correct extension.
