Audacity Forum

<<<Although Audacity can do it, it's not its main purpose....>>> And it's most likely to fail. The forum is full of people trying to open sound files that Audacity doesn't recognize, and Audacity doesn't recognize a lot -- particularly in Audacity 1.2. If you upgrade to Audacity 1.3.12 and install l...
