Audacity Forum

I'm using Logic 8 on a Mac mini 1.83GHz Intel Core 2 Duo OS X Version 10.5.7. Today I installed Audacity but the FFMpeg install won't behave. It gives a message that says that it cant find libavformat.52.dylib. I patiently guide it to where the file is installed among my music ...

... run, do not walk to Audacity 1.3.7. 1.3 has a lot of those tools built in, or if not, they have easier ways to apply plugins and external tools. FFMpeg is a separate collection of tools that "knows" what many different music formats are and can manage them. Audacity looks at the file and says, ...

It says: "Audacity attempted to use FFmpeg libraries to import and audio file, but libraries were not found. If you want to use the FFmpeg import feature, please go to Preferences-> Import/Export ...
