MP3 is, or was, a copyrighted process of Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft. Making an MP3 is not free. "Lame" is a home-brew, free, work-alike software package that you can add to Audacity to create MP3s from your work. http://manual.audacityteam.org/man/installing_and_updating_audacity_on_mac_os_x....

Can we bring this around to an actual failure? "Audacity doesn't like it when.....[?]" Can we put this down to ratty permissions or access to a directory? It would be good to know the failure. I come from a mixed environment including clients with unknown equipment. Safe filenames everywhe...

Saved AUP is Blank when Opened Most people posting say that when they mean "in Audacity," not in a text editor. The show time and graphic are illustrations/examples only and don't reflect your actual times and filenames. Many posters in trouble think the AUP file is the whole world and ha...

There is one thing you can do that might help a little. Select a whole song by clicking just above MUTE. Analyze > Plot Spectrum, Size 8000 or higher. Pull the window as wide as it goes. Look at the values to the left of 20.00Hz. You can't hear those and if you put serious bass notes down there by a...

Recently, I started saving projects. Exclusively? I moved the saving location to Public Music. Is that still on your machine? Is it a shared drive or directory? Your show looks like this, right? http://kozco.com/tech/audacity/pix/MyMusicAUP-MyMusic_DATA.jpg Open the AUP file in a text editor (don't...

records I have in my collection to mp3....no assistance needed there Or maybe not. Any reason you're using MP3 instead of the much higher quality WAV? Yes, MP3 is efficient, common and creates small files, but it also adds compression distortion and restricts further use of the music. Everybody Kno...

Found it. The original code has three periods after -Killer4 . Screen Shot 2017-05-13 at 18.42.22.png The bad code has a single horizontal ellipsis (2026h) after -Killer4 . Screen Shot 2017-05-13 at 18.43.18.png This time I watched it happen. This is Mac Text Edit trying to "help me." I do...
