Audacity Forum

I didn't realize that you'd created a new topic. I wrote a reply to what you wrote under my topic, but I'm not sure if you'll see it. I hope it will be of help to you. Rather than writing it out again, just see https://forum.audacityteam.org/viewtopic.php?f=46&t=107708&start=10. It's the last post a...

Hey Arto! Usually you'd be able to listen to your AU files by opening a new Audacity project. If you don't want to have to pick any of the 3 options on orphan block files, you can't listen to them, but you can still find out if they are likely to play audio.

(I wasn't sure if this should go here or on the feedback forum, but the feedback forum said bug reports should go here, so...) This post is related to a request for help I sent out a couple days ago (https://forum.audacityteam.org/viewtopic.php?f=46&t=107708). Though I've all but given up on recover...

But when I opened the project with Audacity, there was no audio. Thus, I'm pretty sure the problem lies in the AU files. I would try lis...

I created a copy of the file, then closed Audacity. I then tried to launch the original (previously saved) project, but it showed up the same as the auto-recovered one. I also opened both AUP files with Notepad, and the two files look the same (that's all I know how to decipher from the Notepad text...

Thank you so much. Could you clarify a few things for me? I'm pretty inept at tech stuff, and this is a pretty important file.

- If I want to open the backup file, should I close the autosaved file first?
- Where should I save the copy of the AUP file and data folder to?

I mainly use Audacity for editing, but I haven't been using it for very long and don't exactly know how the system works yet. After my Audacity crashed, the window with the option for automatic recovery came up. I had saved a previous version not too long ago. However, I (stupidly) allowed the autom...
