Audacity Forum

Thanks for that info which has cleared up a lot of things which have been puzzling me. I must admit that I have always thought that "ripping" was just another term for "burning" a disc but now I know better. Will now try what you suggest but might have to come back if I have yet more problems. Cheer...

Now I'm more confused than ever as all the discs I want to use in Audacity are either MP3 or WAV which I have made myself and all of which work perfectly in all my other CD players and in Real Player and Windows Media Player and yet when I try to use them in Audacity it claims that as the tracks are...

I am trying to copy some songs from MP3 and WAV discs to use in Audacity but when I try to open them in Audacity I get the message "Audacity does not open this type of file.

Ho...

I have got both Windows Media Player and Nero but both seem to give trouble as they dont like WAV files although I have exported my Audacity recordings as audio WAV files. Also what exactly does this mean from the wiki To record WAV files to an Audio CD the file headers must be stripped and the rema...

As far as I can make out from the Audacity wiki I'm supposed to burn my WAV audio files to CD but when I try this my CD-R discs wont work on any of my players and even in Windows Explorer there are no files to be found on the discs. Also according to Wikipedia ...... Audio CDs Audio CDs do not use W...
