Audacity Forum

Yeah, it seemed to be working... or at least it didn't just HANG the app.

Only problem is that I didn't want to wait TEN HOURS for it to finish saving the MP3.

Thanks, but no thanks.

I went back to Cool Edit Pro... at least that works in Vista.

Yeah, I found a workaround... I ditched Audacity, and went back to Cool Edit Pro.
At least it allows me to chop my MP3s and actually SAVE them again.

:/

Okay... let me clarify.

I cannot export as ANYTHING. No WAV, no MP3, no nothing.

The only thing I can do to get output is to save it as an Audacity project.
Which, of course, is perfectly useless outside of Audacity.


Next ?

Anyone ever try to run Audacity in a virtual session ?

This new Vista PC is great... but Audacity just won't run for me in Vista.
(I can import, record, modify, etc... just can NOT export an MP3)

So... I was gonna install Virtual PC and run Audacity in an XP session.

Anyone ever try that ?

I will try a different LAME... this is 397, but I will look for some others...

Vista x86 (Home Premium)
Brand new PC... just 5 weeks old.
Intel Q6600 Quad Core with 4 GB of RAM.
Over a TB of disk space.

I will also try the experiment on the other thread.


Thanks,
Mark

I am a veteran Audacity user... mostly on XP.

I tried this same task on 1.26, 1.34 and 1.36 --- no go anywhere.
(and yes, I installed the Lame dll)

Anytime I try to export as MP3, the app just locks up.
Have to kill it thru Task Manager.
