SECTION TWO: PROCESS EXECUTION

STEP #1

Install the following programs:

• Audacity: https://www.audacityteam.org/download/
  


• You might need a Lame MP3 encoder in case you get an error message: https://manual.audacityteam.org/man/installing_and_updating_audacity_on_linux.html#linlame
  


• And also FFmpeg library: https://manual.audacityteam.org/man/faq_installing_the_ffmpeg_import_export_library.html
  


• MP3 tag: https://www.mp3tag.de/en/
  

STEP #2

Once the video is final, import it to Audacity (file -> open; or drag and drop)

STEP #3

Go to file -> export -> Export as MP3:

STEP #4

Select the name (based on the naming convention for each course). The quality will be standard, variable speed fast - default values.

STEP #5

Skip the next screen (metatags) - we will add them later using the MP3tag program. Click OK.

STEP #6

Once the file exports, open the MP3tag program.

Go to file -> change directory and select the directory with mp3 files for the course.

STEP #7

• Title: usually Module # - Lesson #

• Album: course name


• Year: the year when the course will be published

You can download one of the existing files from one of the previous courses and copy tags from there, paste it to the first lesson of the new course and update it accordingly.

Step #8:

Once you do it, save the tag:

Step #9:

Then copy the tag - right-click -> tag copy:

Step #10:
