Please Help

Hi,

I am trying to convert .mp3 to .wma on a Mac using Audacity. (Macbookpro running OSX 10.6.8). I've gone to the Preferences/Libraries trying to find the "libacodec.52.dylib" file. I am able to find this file in the User/library/application support/audacity/libavcodec folder. I am able to select it and hit open, but it does nothing after this..

I go back the the Preferences/Library and it still asks me to locate this folder. When I try to export my .mp3 as a .wma I get the following error "Properly configured FFmpeg is required to proceed. You can configure it at Preferences>Libraries.

Any help would be great!

Audacity 1.2 is not supported under Mac-OS-X 10.6. Under certain conditions, it won't even launch.

Download and install Audacity 1.3 from here and get the FFMpeg from the same place.

FFMpeg should come with its own installer. Double click on the package and it should install itself.

This is the Audacity 1.2 part of the forum.
Audacity 1.2 does not support FFMpeg.

I am running 1.3.14... I guess Audacity doesn't work? D'oh!

Have you seen the instructions here: http://manual.audacityteam.org/index.ph ... tallffmpeg
Please describe exactly what you have done so far and hopefully someone will be able to spot where it's going wrong.
Yes Audacity does work and is used by millions of people worldwide, When things don't go right for people, there are folk here on the forum to try and help.
