Do you have Windows set to show you filename extensions? Most Windows machines shear off the last three letters in the filename "to help you." So MyMusic.mp3 (the real filename) becomes MyMusic. Unfortunately MyMusic.m4a and MyMusic.aif also turn into MyMusic with slightly different icons....

There is a silly joke that "Simplified Mode" means "only the tools I want." Audacity had an abbreviated mode and it was constant trouble. The other thing everybody wants is complex tools with one button. "All I want is:" followed by a laundry list of insanely complicate...

And at the other end, I wonder how they avoid collisions if you're trying to play music from a local app into Voicemeeter as well as all the o...
