Why do exported files not include Album Artist or BPM metadata, Album Art or Lyrics? On Mac, you can download a standalone "ffmpeg" binary if you search online.Īlternatively you can export to some additional formats supported by your build of FFmpeg by choosing Custom FFmpeg Export in the Export Audio Dialog. On Windows, the recommended EXE installer of FFmpeg includes an ffmpeg.exe which you can use for this purpose. Point your command to an encoder that supports the format you want to write to, which could be FFmpeg or some other encoder (for example, an alternative AAC or MP3 encoder). The most flexible method to export to more formats is to choose (external program) in the Export Audio Dialog which opens the dialog for Audacity's command-line encoder.


If you do not see a choice for one of those specific FFmpeg formats, then the build of FFmpeg you are linking to was not compiled to support encoding in that format. If you install the optional FFmpeg library you can use the (FFmpeg) choices in the Export Audio Dialog to export M4A (AAC), AC3, AMR (narrow band) and WMA. How can I export to formats not listed in the Export Audio Dialog?
