It's not always evil. Freshmen college roommate projects don't all grow up to be Facebook and Google. Some of them grow up to be spam rating agencies with everybody slapping each other on the back and high-fives all around how smoothly the algorithms run -- by themselves. Oh, wait. You mean there's ...

How are you looping it? You know you can't loop MP3's right? MP3 files follow television frame boundaries whether or not the rhythm works out.

There isn't enough. We need one more phrase at the end. The track ends before the rhythm pattern resolves.

Static on recordings can be caused by sending your USB microphone or mixer through a USB hub. Audio connections need to be computer home runs. Past that we know nothing about your setup.

Many cars and music players accept MP3 files. My sister's car will do that. My older truck will not.

As above, Audacity 1.2.5 is very old and can be profoundly unstable. It also sounds like you created a show by continuously saving new work on top of old using the same show name. A better way of working is save new work periodically as a new show: Tuesday2, Tuesday 3, Tuesday4. Also a periodic safe...

You get the SBBOD when the computer takes more time for a task than it's expecting. Tiger is a very old machine and 2GB of memory is not a lot of memory for editing entertainment -- audio or video. Audacity tries to keep your show in memory for speed while you're editing, but if you have a million t...

That's basic recording and copying tapes to your PC.
