Sounds like what we used to go through years ago with sound editors that had to have a separate button for downloading and inserting the MP3 encoder because the Fraunhofer license prohibited it from being directly distributed with the software.




This is still the case in Audacity... doesn't rip mp3's out the box.

Sure it does, it just always relied on external encoders.

I use audacity for recording vinyl occasionally, but for CD audio I have a bunch of cli scripts. Much easier.


If those external encoders are there. That’s the “non-free” checkbox / package in Linux.
