The other conversion applications should handle that correctly. Sometimes I get a “missing DLL” error with TAudioConverter but it’s not really missing and I can just click “OK” (or whatever it says) and I can continue.Īlso if you have embedded artwork Audacity won’t copy it to the new file. I have both of these installed and this how I convert files when I just want to convert without editing. Return to the main interface of Audacity.

You just drag-in the files you want to convert (almost any format) and once you’ve selected your desired output-format and location it’s one-click to convert. Go to the menu bar, and click on Audacity > Preferences > Libraries > locate and add the FFmpeg library.

TAudioConverter or Kabuu Audio Converter can convert your files in batches. You simply open the M4A and Export as MP3.īut I can’t help you with Macros/batch processing… I’ve never used it… All you have to do is download & run FFmpeg_v2.2.2_for_Audacity_on_Windows_64bit.exe and it should install and you’ll be ready to go. To convert M4A to MP3, go to the menu bars File and select Export. You do need the special Audacity version of FFmpeg and if you’re using the 64-bit version of Audacity you need the 64-bit version of FFmpeg. Now, drag and drop your M4A file to Audacity. That’s usually easy but some people somehow get tripped-up. With Audacity you have to install the optional FFmpeg import/export library.
