I downloaded Audacity on a friends Windows PC yesterday, and it allowed me to export MP3 without asking for any other steps!
From Audacity’s website:
FAQ:Installing the LAME MP3 Encoder
The software patent on LAME encoding library has expired, so now the LAME library for MP3 export is built-in with Audacity for Windows and Mac. Linux users will still need to download and install the free and recommended LAME third-party encoder to export MP3 files from Audacity.
Linux users should use the following instructions to download and install the free and recommended LAME third-party encoder to export MP3 files with Audacity.
Windows: LAME is now built-in with Audacity for Windows.
Mac: LAME is now built-in with Audacity for Mac.
Linux/Unix: See the LAME installation section on Installing and updating Audacity on Linux.
I tried it before finding imgsed but each instance had issues loading images past the first page of a user’s profile. But I will check back occasionally
lists of other alternative front-end services or projects that i (also) have not vetted:
“A web extension that redirects YouTube, Twitter, Instagram… requests to alternative privacy friendly frontends and backends.” https://libredirect.github.io/ - the list they use. https://github.com/libredirect/libredirect - extension (source)
