Thanks, upon further examination, it seems I had the library pointed to the wrong file.

Now it shows FFmpeg Library Version F(55.33.100),U(52.66.100). Does that look right? It is working now for both MP4 and MP3 file imports.

Sorry, normally I drag and drop my raw mp4 files into audacity. Now I get an error stating that it's "an advanced audio coding file. Without the optional FFMpeg library, audacity can not open this type of file.

Awesome!!! Many, many, thanks! I was going crazy!!

Hi, first post. I've been editing our podcasts for a year and all of a sudden the first podcasts of 2021 and I can't get the music (mp3) files to load into audacity. I've tried reloading the Lame and FFMpeg libraries and nothing. HELP!!!
