Here's an item about the change that Mac OS-X made to hidden folders. It's been like this since Lion, but would have changed if you did a clean install.

Never do production in MP3. MP3 creates distortion every time you make a new one, so when you clean up in audacity and make a new MP3, the MP3 may have more distortion than the original. You should not worry about the AU files. Those are internal Audacity housekeeping files and not all of them are s...

No. When they were designing the format in the Paleolithic Era, there was no good music compression, so they needed to save as much space as they could.

Your entertainment amplifier has Phono-In and Tape-Out, right? Connect the turntable to the Phono-In (remember to connect that little black grounding wire).

Before you go off making unwarranted assumptions, let's tell Windows to stop hiding file extensions so you can tell what you really have. -- Hidden File Extensions -- Start > My Computer > Tools > Folder Options > View > [ ] Hide Extensions for Known File Types (deselect) -- Apply (to this folder) o...

How do you know the music system supports MP3 playback? Sony model number?

If you put the disk back in your computer can the computer open up the music and play it?
