What did you call the file? You should not use punctuation marks in your filenames. That drives computers crazy. Upper and lower case letters, numbers, dash and underscore. That's it. Can you use Windows Search to find your music? You should not try to reuse filenames, either. Windows and Audacity b...

What's the player?

Yes. That's correct. You can't take apart a mixed song into individual instruments and voices. If you have the original instruments and voices on their own tracks, then you can treat any instrument or voice as you like and then combine them all into a new song or performance.

Crashing doesn't always produce this exact problem, but are you volunteering to program that module? ...

Not all computers offer Stereo-Mix. If yours doesn't, then you can add software such as Total Recorder... http://www.highcriteria.com/ or FreeCorder. You can also resort to the cable loop-back trick where you connect your stereo Line-Out to your stereo Line-In with a short cable (green socket to blu...
