Audacity Forum

In iTunes, Control-Click on the music and Get Info.

"Kind: Protected AAC Audio FIle.
Purchased by: Koz....etc."

The traditional way to get around this is burn the music to a Music CD. Then rip the CD.

<<<The Windows elves here in the forum may be better able to describe what works and what doesn't when you try to run 1.2.6 on Windows 7.>>>

Maybe you meant to say we're much more likely to be able to help you in 1.3.

Asio supplies really well made and popular software drivers. Unfortunately, they insist on being paid for them, so free Audacity doesn't support them.

I don't know that anybody ever speaks of wavelength of an audible tone. Frequency we can do. http://kozco.com/tech/audacity/piano_G1.jpg This is the Analyze > Spectrum Analyzer of one piano note. G1, I think. Two octaves below middle C. The richer and and more lush and dense the instrument tone is, ...

I also claim somewhere that my graphic was intentionally prepared with extra blank lines and spaces to "look good." The object was to illustrate the file structure, not to play my 6 second piano solo. You mileage may vary. That AUP file is still valid with all I did to it because XML langu...

<<<I'm trying to be platform agnostic>>> Platform agnosticity is the reason Audacity went with WAV. I have to shuffle sound files between all the major and some minor operating systems around the world and WAV gives us the least troubles. iTunes doesn't mind. Yes, I understand AIFF carries more meta...

And remember from above to choose Music CD if you're given a bunch of burn options. The Music CD that will play tunes in your car is very different from a Data CD which acts like a flat shiny hard drive and will carry other kinds of files like Photoshop pictures and Excel spreadsheets.

Next time you try this, please note that Audacity always does everything internally uncompressed, so the show may be 120MB on your iPod, but during the performance, it's 700MB per hour plus housekeeping and safety room. If you're on a Windows PC, the drive space has to be perfectly clean, error free...

If you haven't moved things around too much, there are some very nice crash recovery tools. Crash Recovery http://audacityteam.org/wiki/index.php?title=CrashRecovery It's borderline impossible to do this by hand as the snippets aren't always in chronological order and they go left-right-left-right. ...

You have all the pieces, but do you have them in the right place? Audacity projects record folder locations. http://kozco.com/tech/audacity/aup1.jpg That's a simple AUP file. Read down about line 7 and see the full pathname for my sound file. If that file isn't in the exact correct location, my show...
