I want to use Audacity to import and edit wma files from an Olympus voice recorder and export as mp3. I have downloaded Audacity 2.0 dmg on my Apple OSX 10.6.8 and placed it in Applications. The problem is that the FFmpeg library for importing wma files always comes up with the message that it “cannot be found” even though it is on the desktop at: /Users/macbookpro.Desktop/FFmpeg_v0.6.2_Audacity_on_OSX/ffmpeg and clicking “location” confirms this.
The lame MP3 encoder is at: /user/local/lib/audacity/libmpelame.dylib and is detected as located here.
I’m a Windows user so treat what I say with appropriate caution. I have my LAME and FFMPEG libraries stored in the same place rather than in different places. Have you tried putting your FFMPEG libraries in the same place as the LAME libraries?
