I’m really annoyed by this because I’m recording quite a few interviews with my Blackberry which converts all the audio files as M4As. If I go via the “Preferences: Libraries” section and try “to get a free copy of FFmpeg, click here” I’m getting to the “FAQ: Installing the FFmpeg Import/Export library” again. To use FFmpeg import, go to Edit > Preferences > Libraries to download or locate the FFmpeg libraries.” However, when trying to import the M4A files, I still get the following message: “Audacity attempted to use FFmpeg to import an audio file, but the libraries were not found. Audacity (free) download Windows version Windows Multimedia Editors & Converters Audacity Audacity Play, mix, and edit music tracks, apply effects and filters Download now 13.7 MB 4.


Followed all the steps in the “Quick Help Audacity Manual on installing the FFmpeg for other importable audio formats” and have now installed the ffmpeg-win-2.2.2 and the libmp.3lame-win-3.99.3 on my PC. Unfortunately, I could not import any of the M4A files I have stored. I bought a CD ROM of “Audacity Music and Sound Editing and Recording Software 2.3.3” the other day via Amazon and installed it on my PC (Windows 10).
