Unable to import AAC files? [SOLVED]

Audacity 3 Help Forum Windows
1

I “successfully” installed ffmpeg v2.2.2 and located the “avformat-55.dll” file in Audacity’s library preferences. I believe I
followed the instructions carefully but still can’t import an AAC file into Audacity. Maybe somebody can point out where
I messed up in the following steps that I used. Attached is a copy of the diagnistic log file that is over my head.

  1. Edit → Preferences → Libraries.
  2. Click on “FFmpeg library” download button.
  3. Click on “Download” under “Windows” heading.
  4. Click on “ffmpeg-win-2.2.2.exe” → Save.
  5. Close Audacity.
  6. Browse to save location → double-click on the downloaded file,
    “ffmpeg-win-2.2.2.exe” → Run → OK → Next → Next. Choose
    default location:

C:Program Files (x86)ffmpeg for Audacity

  1. Next → Install.
  2. Finish → re-launch Audacity.
  3. Edit → Preferences → Libraries.
  4. Click on “FFmpeg Library” Locate button.
  5. Browse → navigate to and double-click on “avformat-55.dll”
    in the following location:

C:Program Files (x86)FFmpeg for Audacity

  1. OK → OK.

FFmpeg v2.2.2 is for Audacity 2.0.6.
You are still using Audacity 2.0.5 which uses an older version of FFmpeg.

Audacity 2.0.6 is available here: http://audacityteam.org/download/
