Audacity Forum

Thanks, Waxy, this is enlightening and helps me to understand what is happening. After a bit of hunting, I've located the MP3s. **somehow** they got into a different folder (okay, DUH) so if I want to upload these to a website...I can just upload the MP3 and then most everyone on different platforms...

I can't see the extension on file names...although if I view as Details, I can see they are AU files.

I saved the project when I was done editing, and then I selected Export as MP3. That's when I got the billions of files. My project file is intact as a single file.

I've made some recordings that have music and voice with several pauses throughout the voice part. When I export to MP3 I get a billion files---audacity is reading each part between pauses as a discreet file. How can I set it to ignore silent pauses? I'm using Audacity 1.2.6 on WinXP Pro

many thanks!
