Hi. Audacity is fantastic software. And I’ve upgraded to version 2.0.0 on Mac OS X.
I’m having trouble though, playing an mp3 file in Audacity. I can see the waves and I know the file has been imported. But it’s an hour long file and Audacity will play it back in two seconds. So it isn’t really audible.
I’ve loaded the file into Quicktime player and it shows Format as AAC, 2 channels, 44100 Hz. I guess that’s not mp3?
Okay I’ve installed the FFmpeg extensions. So inside Audacity, Preferences, Libraries, the FFmpeg Library Version appears as F(52.64.2),C(52.72.2),U(50,15.1)
I don’t know what that means…
I think I got it. Your tip about QuickTime really helped. I think what I had done is attempted to take an incompatible format and simply change the extension to load it into Audacity.
But I have another file which was created in iTunes by specifically exporting to mp3 and that file I was able to load into Audacity and it plays as it should. So for now, I think this issue is resolved.
