LAME MP3 Encoder on Mac 10.6 with multiple users

Post by jmeyn » Mon Jan 31, 2011 1:53 am

Hi All,

I'm configuring Audacity on a Macbook running 10.6.4. I imported the MP3 encoder and it works fine on my account, but at a school more than one user will be logging in, and it seems this setup meeds to be done for each user. I read about how this can be fixed on Windows through the registry, but found nothing on how it can be done on a Mac.

Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Jackson

While the lame and FFMpeg software resides on the /Application folder, the configuration files are tied to the user.

/Users/koz/Library/Application Support/audacity/audacity.cfg.

You might be able to make use of a "portable" version of Audacity.
