After years of not being able to just drop-in a recent version of ffmpeg in Audacity's application folder, you can finally just do that.
Tried on recent version Audacity_x64 with ffmpeg_x64 (needs the shared builds) and it works! Just have to update location folder of ffmpeg on main gui.

NB: on the portableapps version I replaced the old ffmpeg binaries with new versions, and it works too.

My understanding is that data collection concerns can be disabled: https://github.com/audacity/audacity/issues/1213#issuecomment-892556317

Just block the app with a firewall to prevent incoming and outgoing connections.

Yes, unfortunately Audacity is now considered spyware.
The new owners break down the two main types of data they collect as including data for analytics and for legal enforcement. This latter group is vague, general and consequently causes serious concern.

Thanks, John. I encountered it from a Guardian newspaper article, but I find IP sharing much less worrisome.

Audacity is an outstanding audio recorder and editor. I have used it for a broad range of tasks, from modifying/improving music files to editing video audio tracks and for recording audio tracks than inserted into to video files. It has always been dependable, and is as simple or sophisticated as needed.
