...USB port for data transfer... Did they suggest in the instructions what exactly goes down that USB port? The ads are suspiciously vague about a lot of things. Dig in the instructions and see what they say about connecting a computer. I do worry about the insistence that the device is four channe...

It does remain that many of our posters want to do this with a mono show or a show that's been highly compressed or a show that's been highly produced.

I'd start with File > Export > Selection, and then select only one track. If that menu item isn't available to you, this would be a dandy time to upgrade to Audacity 1.3.12. http://audacityteam.org/download/ You can have both versions on your machine, but only use one at a time.
