... were subsequently fixed in 1.3.9 and 1.3.10, so rolling back is not an option for me. While I would love to be able to import multiple files using FFmpeg, it's not a critical issue. The difference between Linux and Windows mp3 import times is very interesting, especially that the import times are ...

it just doesn't make sense that you can force FFmpeg import with individual files, but when multiple are queued up for import, only the first uses FFmpeg. I'll enquire about that and see if it is actually intended or an oversight. I suspect the ...

... extra steps to the process (rename to mpeg, rename back to mp3). After using Audacity for years and wishing there were a way to force it to use FFmpeg by default, I only discovered the "Files of type: FFmpeg-compatible files" setting the other day by total accident. It sure seemed ...
