I don't know and it's scary when Google doesn't appear to, either. The obvious one is to distribute on Music CDs. CD players have all those features -- except chapter and show labels.

Write back if you figure it out.

Before I scare you to death, if you're the only person likely to listen to these recordings, you can do whatever you want. I always approach shows with the idea that they're going to go to an audience of millions. Because many of them do. Koz

Live recording is a lot more difficult than people think. There was a posting right before yours where somebody asked what settings in Audacity should be made to eliminate background noise. Nice try. You have to put the microphone in the right place. Full Stop. You usually can't help in post product...

Much more efficient and in the event you have to deliver a stereo show, you can make a stereo show with the same thing on both channels easily. 2) MP3 Never do original production in MP3.

Is that really what you called the show? People get killed all the time by trying to slide dates into the filename. Today is not 4/25/13, it's 20130425. No slashes or other punctuation. You could have permission issues. Try Exporting or Saving to your desktop just to do it. Then Desktop > Go > Utili...

Did you bump the +/- volume control to the left of the track. That shows up in the speakers and green sound meter, but not the blue waves. Koz
