Please Don't Bury Flac Export

Please put Flac under: File/Export/Export as Flac

Actually, were are in the Export tab, so we already have done extra work beyond saving to export something, and so it seems that File/Export/Flac would be fine, as for the rest of them. Generally, I feel that inserting “Export As” in front of the file type actually will make people prone to error, rather than less. I understand your reasoning, though.

But not for making an it extra difficult to save a .flac, which is a really useful file format. It’s open. It works. It’s a standard. I resaved almost all of my .wav files as .flac’s except for rare exchange cases such as cellphone ringtones which need to be .mp3s

You’ll need to make this feature request on Muse’s GitHub issues log:

You will need a GitHub account, but those are free.

Fwiw, Audacity 4 will have a “publish” tab which contains more prominent exporting options all around.

Any update on when that might be?

Whenever we implement the Publish tab.

Got it, thanks! Is there any roadmap or estimate on when Audacity 4 / the Publish tab might be implemented? Just trying to get a sense of what to expect.

The idea is to implement the core editing experience first and grow outwards from there, hence why Importing isn’t even implemented yet. I think we’re nearing the end of the basics though, so first half of this year seems likely.
