Plugins Not Showing Up
I already have the VST thing, and I copied/moved the .vst/.dll/.so/etc file to the Plug-Ins folder, but they aren't showing up in the Effects menu. I use Audacity 1.3.13 (Beta) AND 1.2.5, and I've tried the same methods for both. Yes, I've restarted; yes, I've triple-checked; no, I'm not just blind. The plugins I downloaded are GSnap and DX Reverb Light.

Please just type in the standard font so that it is easier for people to read.
The .dll files are for Windows.
One of the Mac people should be along shortly, but they will probably want to know exactly what files you copied and exactly where you copied them to.

Re: Plugins Not Showing Up
GSnap at least, provides a DLL in the exploded ZIP package. Macs have no idea what to do with that. Those are Windows Dynamic Link Libraries.
Desktop > Finder > Preferences > Advanced > Show All File Extensions
If your Mac doesn't show you the dll filename extension, that change will show you.
I didn't look at the other software, but I'm guessing it's the same thing. If there is no "Minimum System Requirements," listing, chances are it's Windows Software. Mac and Linux software almost always says so.
