Loading a WMA file in Audacity

#1 Post by rmcellig »

I am using Audacity 1.3.12-beta. I understand that I have to install FFMpeg in order to use m4a files as well as WMA files in Audacity.

I installed FFMPEG in Puppy Linux but am not quite sure what to do next. What file do I need to pint Audacity to to get this to work?

I will take a look again at the Audacity info. I just wasn't sure exactly what to do.
