Audacity Forum

Traditionally, Audacity didn't support "Edit Markers," the subject of the original question. Audacity "Labels" only make it so you can manually select a portion of music later with the mouse by being sticky or magnetic. Did that change?

Which Windows and exactly which Audacity?

There was one posting where someone wrote code to assemble the snippets into a show. I believe that's the code in the recovery tools. The files may not actually be in order, by the way. Typically, they go Left-Right-Left-Right and they may not follow numerical values.

If you've been here and it didn't help, you have no show.

There's also a setting somewhere that will only allow you to cut music on the "CD Boundaries." Now you know as much as I do.

Here's a discussion on "de-essing." Also see: Clip-Fix. http://librivox.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=2252 You're going to run out of Audacity 1.2 very rapidly. All the cool tools and supported protocols are in 1.3. 1.2 is still good for cutting four seconds from the end of a song. Past that y...

Echo/Reverb. This is one of those tools that everybody programs and nobody ever gets it right because it's a lot more complex than you think. I think Audacity 1.3 comes with either FreeVerb or GVerb and there is Effect > Echo you can mess with.

But not that weird. Early versions of Audacity had problems with some characters inside IDE tags. Time to upgrade to 1.3. See if you can find Windows 1.3.7. The latest and greatest is 1.3.9 and there are occasional problems with that. You can safely install both 1.2 and 1.3 as long as you don't try ...

Do you get the exact same problem with any other files?

Pull down piano2.wav and either of the two mp3 versions. They all match. Do they work?

Audacity 1.3.9 has some very amusing instabilities. Can you back up to an earlier version?

I would also invite you to download the 1.3.10 nightly build, but I don't know how to get to that on the PC.
