v 2.1.0

Generally you don’t need to, but for 2.1.0, importing files using the “QuickTime importer” is broken. The QuickTime importer handles MP4 and M4A unless FFmpeg is installed. If FFmpeg is installed, then by default, FFmpeg takes MP4 and M4A instead of QuickTime.

As the link says Audacity 2.1.0: FFmpeg required for MP4/M4A/MOV/ALAC import the problem has already been fixed so the next 2.1.1 release will import MP4 and M4A without need of FFmpeg.
