Cannot Export to flac

Post by Beach Ape » Fri Dec 26, 2008 3:30 pm

I can't locate any info on this. In my preferences, I have my default sample format to 16 bit, then in File Format, under Uncompressed Export Format I have FLAC 16bit chosen. Then I have my .aup file open, go to File > Export As FLAC and it says it cannot export to flac. Would anytone know if there is plugin or .dll file I am missing?

FLAC export does not actually work in 1.2.6 I'm afraid. Either use Audacity Beta 1.3.6 where you can export as 16-bit or 24-bit FLAC, or export as WAV from 1.2.6 and convert to FLAC with dBPowerAmp or Switch.
