Instructions for installing FFmpeg are here: https://manual.audacityteam.org/man/ins ... html#winff

during ffmpeg installation, after unzipping installer and selecting ffmpeg application, nothing happens. library not showing up in audacity. thanks.

... can convert it or something? Perhaps you should tell us what the format actually is... :P If you haven't done so already, download and install the FFmpeg Import/Export Library . That will allow you to open and/or export many different audio formats. And, you might have to correct the file name ...

... it and a second attempt that also didn't work, so you can see where I'm running into trouble there. After this, I'd like to figure out the custom ffmpeg export so I don't have to keep using terminal - this is getting very good.

The latest Audacity is 2.3.2 and works in 64-bit to be compatible with newer Macs. Fair warning that it doesn't need Lame and your FFMpeg is going to be out of date.

ffmpeg doesn't support concatenating wav files though

SoX does. http://sox.sourceforge.net/

Yeah, using a different format did solve the problem. ffmpeg doesn't support concatenating wav files though, so I converted au to mpeg (2x mono) to mpeg (1x mono) to mp3. That works okay. Here's the code: import os from tkinter import filedialog import ...

... as a pair, I guess). I wrote a python script to rename the files according to their creation date, let Audacity convert them to mp3, then used ffmpeg -filter_complex amix=inputs=2:duration=longest to merge the two monos into one and then ffmpeg -i "concat:..|..|.." to append them ...

The "Reset Toolbars" function fixed the issue, and I will definitely explore the FFMpeg install situation.

Thanks, all!
