Re: Shape of portable vocal booth matters?

Re: no longer can import audio file

I do this in two steps. I drag the iTunes file out of iTunes and onto the desktop. Then I right-click or control-click the file > Open With: Audacity. If you can't do the first step, then it's possible you have one of the $0.99 FairPlay Copy Protected sound files. Then, the only way out is to play i...

Re: Shape of portable vocal booth matters?
